Actors Needed for "A Backstage Christmas" Play Audition
Auditions for the theater production of "A Backstage Christmas". Seeking men and women. Please find the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Elise Garland wants a quiet Christmas, so she can focus on the holiday rush with her online marketing business. But when her son Noah is offered a stage role in “Bob Crachit’s Toy Shoppe” at a local amusement park, she can’t say no, especially when dynamic actor Calderon Myles makes a desperate plea. It’s a far bigger commitment than Elise realized — intense rehearsals, a demanding performance schedule, and even the dreaded Secret Santa exchange. But with Noah loving every minute, she can’t help but take on some of the holiday cheer – and take note of Cal – whose enthusiasm for the stage and the season has warmed her heart. But when she’s forced to make a decision that will not only affect Cal’s Christmas present but also his Christmas future, will she also derail a second chance for love?
