Act-It UP! Community Theatre announces auditions for the upcoming fall
production “The Christmas Cafe” by Burton Bumgarner produced by special
arrangements with Eldridge Publishing Company.

The cast being sought will be multi-generational from ages 8 and up and
consist of 18 males and 14 females.


*About the Story:*
“The Christmas Cafe” is a comedy set in a restaurant where Betty, the
waitress and cook, serves customers from three different familiar holiday
stories:  “The Night Before Christmas” by Clemet Clark Moore, “A Christmas
Carol” by Charles Dickens, and “The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman.

In "All of the Other Reindeer," Blitzen is burned out and upset that he's
always last on the team. The other reindeer have suggestions:  Cupid thinks
he needs a love life; Donder suggests a good stock portfolio, Prancer
thinks an exercise regime is the answer.  Baffled, the other reindeer call
in Santa's newest hire, a reindeer called Freud.  They tell her Blitzen has
jealousy and anger issues. Finally, the waitress Betty simply suggests
another reindeer take a turn being last and Blitzen has a better outlook.

In "Bah! Humbug!" Marley's Ghost goes to Scrooge's house, but in a century
and a half too late! The Spirits of Past, Present and Future confront him,
but everything's messed up. Now Tiny Tim is a football player.

In "Nutcrackered," E. T. A. Hoffman is struggling with writer's block.
Young Clara and her brother Fritz give him inspiration when they tell him a
wild story about a magical nutcracker.

As a Director for this show, I am really excited about the
character-building aspect of this particular production!  If each actor
cast plays their character to their full potential, I can already see the
audience laughing A LOT!
