With three nights of auditions, for both the cast of characters and the choir, artistic director for Lakeside Players, Dena McPhee said it would be difficult to narrow down the list of auditioners to put together a cast for this years Christmas play, A Christmas Carol.
“I’m looking for people who want to work,” said McPhee. “I have to be able to find that tonight.”
The auditions took place in Studio 261, which, while a great venue, was a little cramped for the amount of bodies packed into the studio’s multi-purpose room.
“We’re here until the end of Sept. and then we’ll be at the [Centennial] Hall,” said McPhee.
Making sure that everyone had a chance to read from the play was also a challenge, but there was no shortage of voices willing to tackle the main character, Scrooge.
