The Newtowne Players Announce Auditions for A Christmas Story by Philip Grecian
The Newtowne Players announce open auditions for the upcoming production of A Christmas Story by Philip Grecian. Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
There are 11 roles, including children. People interested in helping with the technical and support crew are also welcome. The show runs Nov. 29 to Dec. 16, 2012, with two performances every Saturday (matinee and evening).

Callbacks will be held Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script; however, young actors auditioning for the role of Randy may bring a prepared reading. Rehearsals will begin the week of September 24.
