ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking talent for "Miracle on 34th Street"Play. Please see the details below. About the project: A holiday classic from the writer of the musical theatre classic, The Music Man!, and based on the movie of the same name, Miracle on 34th Street features a book and score by none other than Meredith Willson.

Their neighbor, Fred Gailey, tries to woo Doris by charming Susan and taking her to see Santa Claus at Macy’s, where Doris works. Doris is not impressed, but when it turns out that Macy’s Santa may, in fact, be the real Kris Kringle, a wave of love spreads across New York City that melts even the most cynical hearts. Additional info: Auditionees will need to prepare a song of their choosing (30-60 seconds in length). Please bring sheet music – an accompanist will be provided. Auditions will consist of your audition song, cold readings from the script, and a short movement piece. The movement will be taught at the time of the audition.
