Casted!

I recently auditioned for a role in "The Christmas without the Angel" a Christmas production that will be put on by one of our local community theatres Act1Scene1.  When I first was first told of the auditions and what show it was, I was very confused because I had never heard of the show and when I got home and looked it up on the internet I could not seem to find anything about it.  This made me especially anxious about the auditions because I knew I could get a synopsis then.  So, here is a little synopsis from the back of the scrip for any of you who like are anything like me and have never heard of it.

Millionaire Jonathan Bingsley suddenly has his mansion and life turned upside down when a social worker friend asks him to take in six young children for the holidays.  It's just a "temporary" measure until the children, who have lost their parents and home in a tragic fire, can be placed permanently.  To add to the confusion, Jonathan's interfering sister shows up, bringing along her lazy son and his family.  Jonathan's only relief from all the stress is the thought of his only daughter, Cynthia, who is coming home for the first time since her mother's (his wife's) tragic death a year ago.

A witty mix of comedy and poignancy make this one of the most affecting Christmas plays ever.
I play Samantha, one of the six young children, I was so excited to get cast and then to find out what a wonderful cast we have just makes it all the more fun.
