• Sustain ensemble performance dynamics, particularly in party and crowd scenes central to the Fezziwig sequences.
• Manage emotional range appropriate to each role, from comedic warmth in domestic scenes to dramatic weight in ghost sequences.
• Attend all scheduled rehearsals and performances as required by the production schedule.

What You Bring

• Stage or on-camera performance experience, with character roles in period or classical productions considered a strong asset.
• Ability to portray characters in the specified age ranges, including mature ensemble roles in the 50s to 70s bracket.
