Description:

Seeking boys and girls for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" The Musical. Please 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 musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic. Additional info: For the auditions: Individual Vocal: Actors need to prepare 16-32 bars (about a minute) of a musical theatre song. Group Dance Call & Cold Reads: Dress in comfortable clothing and shoes you can dance in! Be prepared to read from the script with other actors. If interested, please apply.
