Auditions: The Best Christmas Pageant EVER!

Calling actors of all ages! Join us for a hilarious holiday classic. When a couple struggling to put on the annual church pageant accidentally casts the Herdmans, the most inventively awful kids in history.  Complete chaos breaks loose! Adapted from Barbara Robinson’s bestselling book, this crowd-pleasing comedy features fun roles for kids and adults alike, classic Christmas carols, and endless laughs. Don't miss your chance to be part of the mayhem and the magic!

What to expect: We are casting a large ensemble of adults and children of all experience levels to bring this funny, touchingly chaotic story to life. Come prepared with a 1 minute monologue and be ready to read from the script and sing a few bars of a Christmas carol! Show dates are Friday Dec 11th 6pm and Saturday Dec 12th 6pm. 

Who: Anyone ages 8 - 88 are welcome! Since this is a show that combines adults and youth, actors over the age of 18 will need to have a current background check, LiveScan fingerprinting and seal abuse awareness training on file.
