PLT will be hosting auditions for its holiday season production of
Sherlock Holmes
And The Case Of
The Christmas Carol
By John Longenbaugh
Directed By Jeff Merriman
Show runs weekends Dec 1st-17th
In this ingenious meeting of two Victorian classics, Dr. Watson visits his old friend Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Eve, finding him in a dark and misanthropic mood, planning to retire from the dull work of solving crimes. But soon, Holmes is visited by the ghost of his great enemy, Professor Moriarity, who warns Holmes that he is heading towards his own damnation and tells him of an upcoming visit by three spirits. During the visits that follow, we learn about Holmes’ childhood and his lost love, the chaos that his early retirement has caused his friends and associates throughout London, and finally a terrifying future.
Auditions will be held at Pasadena Little Theatre, in the PLT Black Box, Oct 8th and 9th from 7-9pm. Auditions will be cold script readings. A headshot and resume are appreciated but not necessary to audition. All roles are open.
A total of 27 different characters appear in the show. Except for Holmes and Watson, there will be doubling and even tripling of most of the other roles. We need a variety of actors and actress from the age of 16-70’s. An actor’s dream!
