Audition Reschedule

The Great Dickens Christmas Fair 2025

Original audition notice can be found here (full link: https://tinyurl.com/5dkhb7y8).

Audition Dates:

➢ September 13 (NEW) at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists (1606

Bonita Ave, Berkeley) from 12:00pm-4:00pm (rescheduled from August 9).

Audition Requirements:

➢ Prepare a one-minute (max) monologue of your choice.

➢ If you are auditioning for a singing role: a 32-bar cut of a song that shows us your

range. We want to be wowed and want you to be comfortable with your material!

➢ Additional cold readings and possible improv work will be at the discretion of the

directors.

➢ The theatrical environment in which the Dickens Fair operates is interactive,

improvisational, and immersive - although there are scenes for which memorization

and conventional staging are required, the largest part of the day for most

performers will be spent working with our guests.

➢ Improvisation skills - as well as comfort interacting with the public in a noisy and

dynamic environment - are very important for most roles we are casting.
