[NEohioPAL] Actors needed for Christmas event

[Lauren Wicks]

Disciples Christian Church (in Cleveland Heights on Mayfield rd. near Taylor
Rd) is in search of *several men and women *interested in helping to spread
the real meaning of Christmas by playing townspeople in Bethlehem on the day
after Christ's birth.



*Event:* "Journey to Bethlehem" is a walk through drama placed in the
Bethlehem marketplace the day after Christ's birth. Guests walk through the
marketplace and encounter shop keepers, craftsmen, live animals and the
manger as well as dramatic vignettes that tell various pieces of the story.
This annual event is *ATTENDED BY 900 TO 1000 PEOPLE* who arrive, and cycle
through, throughout the 3 hour time period.



*Event Date/Time**: *Sunday December 14th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm (if
necessary, the parts could potentially be broken into two shifts of 1 1/2
hours each)



 *Available Acting Roles:*

Individual exchanges are small (approximately 5 minutes each) but are
repeated intermittently as our guests cycle through the event. Some actors
may have two such parts and would rotate between them. Some of the acting
parts are staged in the marketplace as people walk through, while others are
staged in the sanctuary between musical interludes while people wait their
turn to enter Bethlehem. Vignettes in the marketplace are staged every 5 to
10 minutes. Sanctuary performances are every 20 minutes. Adults are
preferred. Minimal rehearsal would be required and would be scheduled at a
mutually agreeable time

Available parts include: a man and woman to play husband and wife, two women
who play friends meeting in the marketplace, a men who has an exchange with
the innkeeper and a man who has an exchange with the tax collector. All
roles are scripted but some appropriate improvisation is OK. Interchanges
with guests are encouraged between times for the scripted parts.

* *

*Auditions:* To be arranged at a mutually convenient date and time



*Note:* Journey to Bethlehem is a free event with a limited budget and
therefore we can offer no pay. We are hoping for people that would
appreciate the experience and/or are interested in the mission of this event
and want to help spread the Christmas story.
