Kids and Teens Needed for "Believe" Play

Looking for kids ages 6 and up to perform in "Believe! A Play with Traditional Christmas Music". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: It’s ten days before Christmas, and 15-year-old Alex Norton is struggling. He’s always loved Christmas, but the shine has left his favorite holiday. He sees Christmas as nothing more than an over-hyped, greedy, present-grabbing time of year. Where is the peace in this season that’s supposed to be all about the Prince of Peace? Alex wants to believe in something... but what? Filled with warmth and laughter and brightened by traditional Christmas songs sung by the actors everyone touched by this play will find something in which they can truly... Believe! Additional info: Please dress appropriately and expect to have your photo taken after you have signed in. Please do not bring props to the audition. Also, the casting committee requests that you do not wear costumes or face paint. Please be sure to bring a water bottle and snack. Be on your best behavior and respect other performers - Do not record or talk while others are auditioning. Acting: All actors are required to audition with a self-selected 1-to-2-minute monologue – preferably Christmas-themed. Monologues can be from a poem, play, musical, movie, or a dramatic “reading” from a favorite story. Singing: Younger Children – Silent Night Teens – I’ll be Home for Christmas Note: Actors and family participation is a natural part of the community theatre experience. Directors expect each family to contribute approximately 20 hours to the production prior to performances (set building, work inside the theatre, show promotion, etc.) plus working before, during, or after most performances. Volunteer positions will be reviewed at the first rehearsal.

Additional rehearsals may be called if needed. Rehearsals may be limited to small groups with various arrival and dismissal times.
