Auditions for "A Sherlock Carol"

Red Curtain announces auditions for Mark Shanahan's holiday retelling of the beloved Christmas Carol, this time with the world's most famous detective at the helm of the mystery. "A Sherlock Carol" will be directed by Eric Lewis. Performances are weekends, December 6-22, 2024. Auditions are 10/6-10/8 starting at 6:30pm.

Moriarty is dead, to begin with. And Sherlock Holmes is a haunted man. But, when a grown-up Tiny Tim asks Holmes to investigate the death of Ebenezer Scrooge, the Great Detective must use his gifts to solve a Dickens of a Christmas mystery! Six actors take on the beloved characters of Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens in this heartwarming and highly theatrical holiday treat for all ages!

Actors should send in their headshot and resume (office@redcurtainfoundation.org) at the time of securing their audition slot, and prepare a dramatic monologue, no longer than 2 minutes, using their best English accents (more details below).

Red Curtain encourages non-traditional casting, including color-conscious and gender-inclusive practices, particularly focused on promoting equity, diversity and inclusion. All actors are encouraged to audition. This is a community theatre production, and there is no pay offered.
