Casting Call for Girls for "White Christmas" Show
Looking for a girl ages 9-12 years old for the "White Christmas" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Two World War II army buddies, Bob Wallace, and Phil Davis, have become a very successful song and dance team, making it big in nightclubs, radio, and then on Broadway. They meet two sisters at a nightclub in New York and with romance in mind, follow the girls to a gig in Pine Tree, Vermont. Arriving at the inn, they discover there are no guests and more importantly, no snow! Ready to turn around and leave, the boys hesitate when they realize the innkeeper is their beloved former commanding general. Deciding to help out and bring the business up to the inn, Wallace and Davis relocate the entire cast and crew of their new musical. Before opening night, however, a misunderstood phone call threatens to ruin everything. Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features seventeen Irving Berlin songs including “Blue Skies,” “Count Your Blessings,” “Sisters,” and of course, “White Christmas.” Additional info: Please come prepared with comfortable clothes you can move in if you are asked to stay for a dance audition.
