[NEohioPAL] Male actors needed for Christmas production

[Lauren Wicks]

 Disciples Christian Church (in Cleveland Heights on Mayfield rd. near
Taylor Rd) is in search of *several men *interested in 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 guests 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 who has an interchange with his wife
expressing his frustration with the Romans and his contempt for the
shepherds and their claims of angelic visitors, the innkeeper and a men who
has an exchange with him about a room, a tax collector and a man who has an
angry exchange with him about his taxes and King Herod who addresses the
visitors on their way to Bethlehem. 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
