First of all, the Arts Ministry's modern musical take on Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol, will be performed by children and teens on Dec. 20-21 at St Augustine's Anglican Church in Marpole. In this version, Scrooge is a wealthy developer in who is evicting people in subsidized housing in Marpole in order to build new "affordable housing." The script was written by Phil Colvin and music by David Taylor. Claire Rice, recent director of St Philip's own St Nicholas skit, is directing the show. Tickets are by donation, either in advance or at the door. For information or tickets call (604)-263-9212 or email us. Performances will be Friday, Dec. 20th at 6:30pm and Saturday, Dec. 21st at 2pm and 7pm.
The Arts Ministry will also be holding auditions for two new musicals in the spring of 2014, one of which will be at St Philip's! The Sound of Music is an intergenerational production based at St John the Evangelist, North Vancouver. We are looking for children, teenagers and adults for featured and chorus roles. The Selfish Giant is a production based on the short story by Oscar Wilde with featured roles for children and teenagers, and will be based here at St Philip’s, Dunbar. As the host parish, we will need volunteers who can help with sets, costumes, props, music, publicity and all the other things that go into a successful musical production. This show will be directed and produced by Claire Rice and me.
For the auditions, we want to see and hear you sing and dance - but no experience is necessary! You will be part of a community cast, who will help each other to develop their skills. Auditions will be Jan. 11th at St John's in North Vancouver and Jan. 18th at St Philip's, both days 12-4pm. We will be auditioning for both shows on both days and yes, it is possible for children and teenagers to be involved in both shows! To book an audition, or for more information, please contact the producers at anglican.arts@gmail.com.
