Description:

Kids ages 8-14 are invited to audition for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history.

This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling 1970s Young Adult book and has become a holiday staple. Additional info: No acting experience is necessary to audition! Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Callbacks (if needed) will be Weds, Oct. 23rd. Rehearsals will start Tuesday, Oct. 29th, and run through the Opening Night performance. There will be no rehearsals on Oct. 31st or the Weds-Sat of Thanksgiving. Please bring any additional scheduling conflicts with you to auditions. Performances are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, during the first two weekends in December. Actors must be available for ALL (6) performances.
