Seeking Boys and Girls for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"
Seeking boys and girls for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas! This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and many laughs. Additional info: PREPARE: A 1-2 minute monologue. For children, this may be from a play, book, poem, or other material. It can be a minute or less and must be memorized. Children should also be prepared to sing a brief Christmas Carol like “Jingle Bells.” Prepare to fill out a conflict calendar at the audition.
