"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!" Needs Actors
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. The company is holding auditions for the production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!" and looking for actors, please see the details below. About the project: When seasoned and authoritative pageant director Mrs. Armstrong breaks her leg, it is up to inexperienced Grace Bradley to step in. The timing couldn’t be worse, as the rambunctious Herdman children, a rough and tough group of siblings from the wrong side of the tracks, descend upon the pageant, lured by the promise of free dessert at Sunday school, and determined to win all the lead roles for themselves. The Ladies’ Aid Society members are beside themselves with disapproval, all the shepherds quit because Gladys Herdman “hits too hard”, the show is briefly re-titled “Revenge at Bethlehem”, and the church catches on fire. But Grace’s daughter Beth and the rest of the community watch in surprise as the old Christmas story is rejuvenated by the creativity, energy, and unexpected sincerity of a misunderstood family. Additional info: Show dates: December 8-11, 2022 If you are interested, please apply.
