Inspecting Carol
2025-12-21 14:00 - 16:30 (America/Denver) | The Matthews Opera House – Theatre, 612 Main St, Spearfish, SD, United States
The Matthews Community Theater proudly presents Inspecting Carol by Daniel J. Sullivan, a backstage holiday comedy that spoofs both A Christmas Carol and the frantic world of community theater. The play follows a struggling theatre troupe as they prepare for their annual production of Dickens’ classic. Everything goes wrong: actors forget lines, the set collapses, egos clash, and rehearsals spiral out of control. When the troupe mistakes a clueless wannabe actor for a feared National Endowment for the Arts inspector, panic sets in, and desperate attempts to impress lead to even more ridiculous disasters.
Full of slapstick, satire, and seasonal spirit, Inspecting Carol is a joyful romp that celebrates the magic (and madness) of live theater. With clever wordplay, physical comedy, and a cast of eccentric characters, this hilarious farce is perfect for anyone who enjoys laughter, theatrical hijinks, and the unpredictable charm of community theater.

AUDITIONS: Dancing at Lughnasa
2025-12-22 18:00 - 20:00, 2025-12-23 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | The Matthews Opera House – Theatre, 612 Main St, Spearfish, SD, United States
December 22nd & 23rd @ 6:00pm
The Matthews Opera House invites community actors to audition for Dancing at Lughnasa, Brian Friel’s poignant, memory-rich drama set in 1930s rural Ireland. We’re seeking performers of all experience levels to bring this moving story of sisterhood, resilience, and fleeting joy to life.
No experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). Auditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work, set building, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors.
Dancing at Lughnasa – Directed by Shirlene Joseph
Dancing at Lughnasa follows five unmarried sisters living a modest life in rural Ireland in 1936, as remembered by the now-grown son of one of the women. During the summer of the Lughnasa festival, their world is shaken by small but powerful events—the arrival of a new radio, the return of their long-absent missionary uncle, and the unexpected visit of the boy’s charming father. These moments of music, memory, and brief joy ultimately reveal the fractures that will change the family forever, in what is widely considered Brian Friel’s masterwork.
