Singing auditions open for Kids for "Elf Jr." See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Buddy, as a baby, 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.
