Texas Border Business
Have you ever wanted to try acting or do you have experience and time to be in rehearsals and in a fun play? …Now is you chance to audition for one of the 20 roles available in Pharr Community Theater’s next play to be presented right before Christmas 2023, the return of the popular show, A TEJANO CHRISTMAS CAROL, (ATCC 2023) adapted from the famous Charles Dickens script.
In our story, Mr. Scrooge becomes Mr. Codos, a mean businessman and greedy water broker from the RGV. He’s so cruel, the paint falls off the wall..lol. His avarice is such that it threatens the mighty Rio Grande River to go dry and cause havoc and despair to an entire region. Will the spirits convince him otherwise? The spirits in this fun and heartfelt adaptation include La Rielera de La Revolución Mexicana/ A Soldadera and the spirt of our lovely Selena, the Singer.
The role of Mr. Codos as well as roles for 12 other adults and 6 children are up for grabs through an audition process. All ages and ethnicities are welcome.
