Seeking Kids and Teens for Dance Tryouts in "Elf Jr."
Kids aged 6-18 years old are welcome to perform in the "Elf Jr." Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. Additional info: What to Expect at Auditions: A short song of your choice (2 minutes or less – show your sparkle!) A cold read from the script (no prep needed – just bring your best Buddy energy!) A dance routine taught at the audition (so wear comfy clothes you can move and groove in!) Rehearsal Schedule: Starts: September 6 Mondays & Thursdays | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Every other Saturday beginning September 6 If interested, please apply.
