This is a farce adaptation of the classical tale. From the bonny shores of England comes the Styck

Upon-Thump Repertory Theatre Company, a stuffy old travelling troupe embarking on their fifteen

annual farewell tour of the Dickens' tale. The company includes Sir Selsdon Piddock, the consumm

actor, in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, with Mrs. Bettina Salisbury, Dame Rowena Middleton-Lew

Mrs. Cordelia ffoliet-ffolkes ffortescue Woods, Teddy Shub and Elyot Crummels in multiple support

roles, and sweet Cynthia Imbry, the general understudy finds herself thrust onstageto perform a ro

she is ill-prepared for! When the company's diva, Betinna feigns illness, certain the production willcanceled, this merry troupe of over the hill and upstart actors carry on without her much to her sho

and rage. Roles are shuffled at the last minute and the sweet understudy Cynthia, suddenly finds h

self on stage knowing only one line of dialogue. She has written her part in and on almost everythi

including the Christmas pudding! Midway through the doomed performance, the diva rushes in

reclaim her role. Total mayhem ensues as the company scrambles to keep the show going while ev

rything goes hilariously wrong. By Mark Landon Smith

OPEN AUDITIONSJerry Finnegans Sister

A Comedy by Jack Neary

1Man/1 Women (Should look late teens or early 20s)Brian Dowd has spent the last 10 years of his life wrestling with an unrequited "something" for his best friend's sister, who happens to liv

next door. But each and every time he's spoken with Beth Finnegan for more than 30 seconds, It's ended up with his foot planted firmly his mouth. Now, Brian's time is about to run out. With recent news that Jerry Finnegan's sister is getting married, the time has come for hi

to put up or shut up. Like John Wayne in The High andthe Mighty, Brian has reached the point of no return. What's he got to lose--excethe love of his life! In a series of fast-moving, hysterically funny scenes, two actors play Brian and Beth from ages seven and six, throug

their adolescent and teen years, right up to the moment the play is happening, when they're both in their early 20s. Does Brian confess h

feelings and win Beth, or.
