A VERY GROOVY CHRISTMAS CAROL
Alright, dig this, my man:
So there’s this uptight cat named Ebenezer Scrooge — real square, all about the bread, no time for good vibes or holiday cheer. Dude’s colder than a disco floor at sunrise.
One Christmas Eve, three far-out spirits drop in on him. First ghost rolls up and shows him his groovy past, back when he wasn’t such a drag. Then the next ghost lays down the now-scene — people partying, feeling the love, while Scrooge is out here solo like a busted 8-track. Finally, the last ghost is all heavy, showing him a bleak future where nobody digs him ‘cause he never spread the good vibes.

THE SECRET GARDEN
The play follows Mary Lennox, a spoiled and lonely girl sent to live with her reclusive uncle Archibald Craven after her parents die. At his gloomy Yorkshire estate, she discovers hidden mysteries: her uncle still mourns his late wife, and her sickly cousin Colin is kept shut away.
When Mary stumbles upon a locked, neglected garden, she slowly brings it back to life with the help of a local boy named Dickon. As the garden blooms, so do the characters.

ANNIE
Set in New York City during the Great Depression, the story follows Annie, a spunky 11-year-old orphan who lives under the strict rule of Miss Hannigan at a run-down orphanage. Annie dreams of finding her parents, who left her there years ago. Her life changes when she’s chosen to spend Christmas at the mansion of billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks.
At first, Warbucks is all business, but Annie’s optimism and charm win him over. Together they launch a public search for her parents, but Miss Hannigan, her brother Rooster, and his girlfriend Lily try to scam Warbucks by posing as Annie’s parents to get the reward money. In the end, the villains are caught, Annie learns her real parents died long ago, and Warbucks offers to adopt her. Annie finds the loving home she’s always wanted, ending the show on a hopeful, upbeat note.

PARTICIPATE
The CWC Theatre Department routinely casts community members. You are invited to audition for any show.
Audition notices will be posted in the display case beside the Box Office on the CWC campus, the display case outside of The Ranger newspaper offices, and on Professor West’s door
(ARTS 132), with a character breakdown and what to prepare for the audition.
These notices will be posted two weeks prior to the audition date. They will also be emailed upon request. Please follow the directions on the notices and come prepared to audition.
If performing doesn’t appeal to you, we can always use your help backstage on set and prop construction, sewing, painting, and whatever else needs to be done.
For questions about auditions or volunteering, contact Joey West, Director of Theatre, 307-855-2217 or jwest@cwc.edu
