Seeking actors from their mid-20s through 70s for a Holiday comedy
The Christmas Spirit at Burien Actors Theatre
Burien Actors Theatre (BAT) is seeking actors to play characters from their mid-20s 
through 70s in the comedy The Christmas Spirit, written by Frederick Stroppel.
Synopsis: When Death arrives to spirit Julia Dowling to the afterlife, Julia instead wheedles him into joining her for a Christmas party with her family. Julia, who had no such party planned, scrambles to persuade her estranged family to come together on Christmas Day. Old resentments surface, new connections are made, and everyone, even Death, feels the magic of the Christmas spirit. A touching and hilarious look at the things that really make life worth living.
