Country Gate Players Workshop Cooperative is seeking adult and youth cast members for it’s upcoming production of "Cratchit", an original family holiday musical scheduled to be presented Dec. 4 , Dec. 5 , and Dec, 6 . A limited cast of approximately 25-30 actors is required for the production. Those interested in auditioning must be at least ten years of age. Audition registration is required by October 4 , at https://forms.gle/b78Y2iKsbx9EcH978 Due to stage space constraints, casting may be limited.

The Story:
Generations after the beloved “Tiny Tim” captured the hearts of readers in A Christmas Carol, his descendant, Timothy Cratchit, Esquire, has inherited the family name—but very little of the family’s Christmas spirit.

A successful but hard-hearted attorney, Tim has little patience for Christmas, compassion, or even his own family’s enthusiasm for a holiday musical. His increasingly selfish behavior alienates his wife and children, while his relentless prosecution of Archie Archibald threatens to separate another father from his two daughters.

But on Christmas Eve, Tim receives an unexpected visitor: the ghost of his famous ancestor, Tiny Tim Cratchit. With plenty of humor, a bit of supernatural intervention, and some decidedly unconventional advice, Tiny Tim takes his descendant on a journey that forces him to confront his past, witness the consequences of his actions, and glimpse the future he may create if he refuses to change.

Featuring original songs, colorful characters, and a (hopefully) heartfelt message, “Cratchit” offers a contemporary twist on the Dickens tradition—a Christmas story about family, forgiveness, compassion, and listening to the “better angels” of our nature.

Previous theatre experience is a plus, but not required.

🍂 **THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW** 🍂
by **Christofer Cook**
Based on the classic short story by **Washington Irving**

Welcome to the quiet little village of Sleepy Hollow…where old legends have a way of coming to life.

When the superstitious schoolmaster **Ichabod Crane** arrives in Sleepy Hollow, he quickly becomes fascinated by the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel—and finds himself in competition with the boisterous Brom Bones. But romance and rivalry soon give way to something far more sinister as Ichabod encounters the terrifying legend that has haunted the valley for generations…

**The Headless Horseman.** 🐎🌙

Our Country Gate cast features several seasoned performers familiar to our audiences, but we’re especially excited to introduce **some brand-new faces to the Country Gate stage!**

Directed by **Gina Scurato**, known for bringing a chilling and macabre touch to the stage, *The Legend of Sleepy Hollow* promises mystery, suspense, humor, and just the right amount of fright—a **perfect Halloween treat!**
