Strawdog Theatre Company announces auditions for our virtual production of HERSHEL AND THE HANUKKAH GOBLINS, based on the book by Eric Kimmel, adapted for the stage by Mike Dailey, directed by Spencer Ryan Diedrick. A stage adaptation of the classic children's book, the show will use live music to tell the fantastical story of Hershel defeating a series of goblins over the eight days of Hanukkah.
