"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show Needs Boys and Girls
Kids between the ages of 6 and 13 are welcome to audition for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Play. Please see the details below. 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 with the Christmas story head-on! This delightful comedy, adapted from the bestselling Young Adult Book, has plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas carols, and lots of laughs. Additional info: Children will be asked to read from the script, and they may be asked to sing a Christmas carol or a short song. No music is necessary. Rehearsals will be held in Damariscotta and will take place either after school, early evenings, or on Saturdays (depending on cast availability). PERFORMANCES at the LINCOLN THEATER: Friday, December 19 at 7 pm Saturday, December 20 at 7 pm Sunday, December 21 at 2 pm If interested, please apply.
