ABOUT THE SHOW
As songs like “One More Sleep Til Christmas” and “Marley & Marley” begin in the film, a real-life cast of puppets and humans will perform the songs live with piano accompaniment synced to the action on screen.
Memorial Hall seeks up to six singing puppeteers for this unique presentation.
Puppet experience, ability to read music and aptitude with character voices strongly preferred.
Three rehearsals will take place in the first two weeks of December, scheduled at the mutual convenience of cast and production team. There are two performances on Saturday, December 13: 2:00pm and 7:00pm.
All performers will receive $600.00 in compensation. Housing not available. AEA talent are welcome, but this is not a theatrical presentation.
