FERGUS – Actors are needed for Miracle on 354th Street at the Fergus Grand Theatre from Dec. 8 to 17.
Directed by Deb Stanson and David Tanner, the play was adapted by Mountain Community Theater from the novel by Valentine Davies, and based on the 20th Century Fox motion picture Miracle on 34th Street.
When Kris Kringle, a nice old man from a retirement home, gets a job working as a Christmas Santa at Macy’s, his honest and generous spirit unleashes waves of good will throughout New York City, and a hint of magic in the heart of a very practical little girl.
Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris taken to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing where his freedom and the joys of childhood fantasy are at stake.
This holiday tale is one people want to believe in, where love, decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards, officials say.
Overall 30 actors are needed for the play: 18 adults of all ages and 12 children between eight and 15 years old.
Auditions will be held on June 8 and 9 from 7 to 9pm in the Elora Community Theatre Workshop (on the third floor of 105 Queen St.).
It is an open audition with no appointment needed, involving a cold read from the script. For more information, contact Deb Stanson at
