"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical" Seeks Kids

Calling all kids who are 6-18 years old to audition for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical". Please see the details below. About the project: The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be biting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! Soon, everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic. Additional info: WHAT TO EXPECT: A simple movement call for all auditionees - directors are looking for character and the ability to pick up a few steps, but no formal dance training is needed! Individual vocal auditions - please prepare 32 bars (about 45 seconds) of an uptempo musical theatre piece. You CAN sing from the show. An accompanist will not be provided, but you may bring a device to play an instrumental track from.
