Casting
Step into the spotlight! Grandstreet’s shows feature local volunteer actors and casting is done through audition. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or new to the stage, we welcome all talents and passions. Auditioning is not just about landing a role; it’s about embracing the thrill of the stage, challenging yourself, and connecting with fellow community members who share your love for theatre. Come prepared to showcase your skills, dive into the script, and let your passion shine. Together we’ll bring the magic of live performance to our community and create unforgettable memories and friendships that will continue long after the curtains close.
UPCOMING AUDITIONS
A CHRISTMAS CAROL 2024
We are seeking one actor to play the role of ENSEMBLE / MRS. DILBER for our upcoming December production of A Christmas Carol.
After last year’s successful holiday production, we are thrilled to bring A Christmas Carol back to the Civic Center Ballroom for a limited run in December! The original Grandstreet adult company is returning to the production, but due to a scheduling conflict we are looking for a new actor for the role of ENSEMBLE / MRS. DILBER. This is a wonderful opportunity to become a part of this special holiday tradition and join the incredible company of A Christmas Carol!

What to Prepare
Those who plan to audition should read the Mrs. Dilber scene, which can be downloaded here:
MRS. DILBER SCENE.
Ensemble / Mrs. Dilber (she / her, 20s – 60s)
The ensemble track will be involved in many sequences of the show, including the Fezziwig ball, London street scenes, a caroling sequence and many more. Mrs. Dilber is a cockney laundry woman who appears in the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come sequence. She is conniving and sneaky, and is quite proud of the fact that she has stolen valuable items from the deceased bedroom of Ebenezer Scrooge. She has come to Old Joe, the pawnbroker, to try and sell her wares.
