Singers Needed for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show

Geneva, IL, United States

Description:

The company is holding auditions for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" The Musical!!!! and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: 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 director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic by Barbara Robinson. Additional info: Auditions will consist of preparing a song (16 – 32 bars) that shows your vocal range OR sing a favorite Christmas song (secular or sacred) AND cold readings from the script. Performances are planned for the first (and third) weekends of December (Friday – Sunday each weekend) Dec 6 - 8 and Dec 19 - 22. No rehearsals when the show is between weekends.
