Seattle Public Theater Auditions for Christmastown 2021
Written by Wayne Rawley
Directed by Rachel Delmar

Seattle Public Theater is proud to announce Christmastown by local favorite, Wayne Rawley, will be opening our 2021/2022 season. We are opening auditions for three roles.
We can’t wait to see you!

Synopsis:

In this film noir-inspired holiday thriller, hard-boiled detective Nick Holiday investigates some un-holiday-like shenanigans taking place in Christmastown that sends him on a search for the truth about Big Red. Add a glamorous elf, a used-Christmas-tree salesman, a muckraking reporter, and a quick-thinking cab driver, and you have what the Seattle Times calls the “best new holiday romp of the year!”

Roles Available:

We are looking for versatile, improv familiar, and physical actors for Nick Holiday, Track 2 (Multiple Roles), and Track 3 (Multiple Roles).

Compensation:

This is a Non-Union contract. Each actor will receive a $1500.00 stipend for the run of the show, paid half on opening and half on closing.

Dates:

1st Rehearsal – October 18th, 2021
Tech – November 19th-24th, 2021
Opening – November 26th, 2021
Closing – December 24th, 2021
