Seeking young performers ages 8 and up for "The Little Town of Christmas" and "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." Please see the details below.
About the projects:
“The Little Town of Christmas” is set in a fictional small town preparing for Christmas, and is made up of several short sketches that feature some of the best-known characters of Christmas time.
In “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” 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 pageant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and Reverend Hopkins to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes.
Additional info:
Actors will read selected scenes from the scripts for the audition panel–no other preparation needed.
Rehearsals will begin Monday, October 20
Rehearsals will be Monday-Thursday from 6-8
