auditions for Theo/Winslow/Argyle and Karl/Bakagi

​About the Show:
Sexy German criminal Alan Rickman-I-mean-Hans-Shmuber leads an international gang of terrorists who seize an office tower during a Christmas party. John, a cop from New York, is trapped on the upper floors. He’ll need a Christmas miracle to save his power-suit dressing wife Holly and the other hostages. This Die-Hard-Christmas-Carol is about as stupid as it sounds with action packed comedy, tap dancing FBI agents and heartbreaking flashbacks of kids who are coughing too much. This musical satire is back, bigger and better than ever, for its fourth year as Edmonton’s newest holiday tradition.
