Rehearsals will take place on weekday evenings and Sundays. The dates and times that actors are called for rehearsal vary depending on the size of the role. Children in ensemble roles (Urchins and Party Kids) will be double cast, and therefore called for fewer rehearsals. Most children will be called to 16 rehearsals or less. The weeks leading up to the performances will require the most rehearsals. No rehearsals will be held around the Thanksgiving holiday from November 26th through November 29th.
Based on the novella by Charles Dickens, Civic’s 2014 production of A Christmas Carol will be directed by Civic Artistic Director William Sanders, who adapted the script with Sharon Lee Glassman. “A Christmas Carol” is now in its 24rd year of delighting family audiences with the familiar story of love and redemption.
