CASTING: The Elves and the Shoemaker – Swift Creek Mill Theater

By | March 8, 2026

Director/Writer Tom Width and Musical Director/Composer Paul Deiss are seeking 2 women and 2 men to complete their casting. The men play onstage non-singing characters and also help to animate the humanette puppets that create the elves. Of the two women, one plays only Teeny the elf, and the other plays an onstage character as well as the other elf, Weenie. Both must be strong singers. The roles of the shoemaker and his wife have been cast. If you are interested in being considered for a role, please email Tom Width at twidth@aol.com. The show will start rehearsals on March 21, and play about 22 performances between April 13 and May 1 – that’s weekdays only at 10:15 with a second show at noon on many days. All performers are paid.
