"The Best Christmas Pageant" Child Audition for the Theater
Child auditions announced for theater production of "The Best Christmas Pageant." See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. 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, funny, and touching holiday classic. Additional info: Please note: there is a production fee applied. Callbacks August 21 at Trinity Lutheran in Monument. Rehearsals begin September 2025. Performances December 12-13, 2025. If you are interested please apply.
