Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Looking non-equity strong singers, actors and dancers/movers ages 5+ for musical "It’s a Wonderful Life". Please, see the details below. About the play: "It’s A Wonderful Life" is a musical adaptation of Frank Capra’s masterpiece film. This is the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been squashed by family obligations and civic duty, and whose guardian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair, and to remind him – by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born – that he has had, after all, a wonderful life. It’s a Wonderful Life – The Musical is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global. Additional information: Performance Dates December 11th – 30th 2026. CALLBACKS – Thursday, June 25 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Callbacks (in person ONLY). When signing up for an audition or submitting a video audition, please ensure to include the role you are auditioning for, including whether you would like to be considered for ensemble. Email your head shot, resume and a list of conflict dates at the time of submission or sign up. For those unable to attend in person, video audition submissions will be accepted. Not everyone will be required to attend. Callback emails will be sent out no later than 2:00 pm on Wednesday, June 24. Callbacks will be held at FESTIVAL PLACE and may include a movement audition for those invited to attend. Not receiving a callback does not mean that we are not considering you for a role in our production.

We will be asking those attending the callbacks to prepare songs from the show. Auditions and callbacks may be recorded for internal reference by the artistic team only.
