“Scrooge?  I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was?  Impossible!”

‍

When arriving at the eternal counting house, miser Jacob Marley signs a contract that reads “…on effecting a Total and Complete Change of Heart on the said subject, Mr. E. Scrooge…all Debts shall be forgiven, all Bonds Broken and you shall be Freed to Seek your Greater Joy.”  

‍

And so begins Jacob Marley’s journey to redeem the life of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.  

‍

This re-telling of the classic Dickens's story, old Marley plays a hand in softening Scrooge and at the same time waking himself to the expansive, loving heart he could have shared while on earth.

‍

This exciting and hopeful play that reminds us that all things can be made new and our greatest strength is in our connection to others.

"The discovery weekend was an opportunity to get immersed in the school and discover if I was ready for this stage in my life. I found it to be an exciting opportunity to meet instructors and students. It made me comfortable for classes in the fall and it helped shape my decision to attend Rosebud School of the Arts." (Bethany - Rosebud graduate)

‍

Schedule

Applicants usually settle into accommodation on Thursday afternoon and leave Sunday afternoon. The weekend is filled with various activities designed to give ample opportunity to discover Rosebud and to meet the staff and students. Applicants are scheduled to observe classes - for example: choir, acting, art - as they are offered, and they will attend a dinner and theatre performance. Applicants may be asked to assist with the daily tasks of a working dinner and theatre, such as serving patrons or washing dishes. An interview and talent assessment rounds out the weekend. A complete schedule of activities will be given to you upon arrival in Rosebud.

‍

Talent Assessment

Please prepare a one-to-two-minute monologue and a song. Choose a monologue from an existing play; do NOT choose a piece from a video game, film or something you have written yourself. Many online sources can help you find a monologue or you can reach out to us and we can make some suggestions.The song will be sung a cappella (without accompaniment) or you may accompany yourself if you wish. No musical accompaniment is provided.The talent assessment is not an audition. It is an opportunity to express your artistic abilities and for the panel to see where you are at in your journey as a performer. It will be a safe and friendly atmosphere shared with other potential students and two staff members.
