The Smoky Mountain Community Theatre is holding auditions for its December production, “A Christmas Carol,” at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Aug. 16-17.

This play is based on the classic book by Charles Dickens. The story tells about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, in an attempt to show Scrooge the error of his ways.

The cast consists of 11 males, six females, four boys, and two girls; however, the cast is expandable. There are several non-speaking roles as well. The theatre is located on Main Street in Bryson City. For information contact Director Toby Allman at 828.488.8103.
