Auditions - July 10th & 11th at 7:00pm at The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County. 

PLEASE NOTE - Due to some thematic elements, this show is NOT SUITABLE for children under high school age.

Unisex casting of 12-18 speaking roles, plus an ensemble of 6-12. There are non-speaking roles available. Dancers strongly encouraged to audition to be a part of the ensemble for ensemble work (featuring lyrical / contemporary style dance). The show is written as a collection of stories as individuals scenes, so actors can expect to be cast in speaking and non-speaking roles throughout the show. Auditions are cold readings in groups. Ages encouraged to audition are high school and above. 

Shuddersome: Tales of Poe is a one-act of selected works of Edgar Allan Poe that includes short stories (The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Oval Portrait, Lionizing, The Masque of the Red Death) and poetry (“The Bells” and “The Raven”). Spectres, ghouls and ghosts come alive in this vivid theatrical adaptation of some of Poe’s best-known works. This spine-tingling hour of theatre will have you glancing nervously over your shoulder as Poe’s words rise up like corpses from the grave. (Be careful. Do you hear that tap, tap, tapping?)

Everyone’s favorite classic holiday tale gets the fractured fairy-tale treatment. All the famous fairy-tale characters take on all of the memorable roles of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. You’ll never know who will show up next as the Big Bad Wolf meets his old business partner Jacob Midas, who could turn anything to gold. Midas warns Wolf that he’ll be visited by The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who, along with the Charming family — including Prince Philip, Cinderella and their kids, Hansel, Gretel, and Tabitha, help Wolf to remember what the Christmas spirit is all about.

We meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their nephew who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other nephew—these require no further description or amplification here.

Sheridan Whiteside, having dined at the home of the Stanleys, slips on their doorstep, breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow. The Stanley living room is monopolized by the irascible invalid; ex-convicts are invited to meals; and transatlantic calls bring a $784 phone bill. The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroys domestic tranquility. It would take a stoical housewife to harbor penguins in her library, an octopus in her cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches in her kitchen. When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the reporter, Bert Jefferson, all manner of mania ensues!
