"Dad's Christmas Miracle" Christmas Comedy Play Seeking Actors
Open auditions for "Dad's Christmas Miracle" a Christmas comedy. Seeking cast. Please see more info below. About the project: Story Synopsis: Three lifelong friends, Conner Murphy, Neil Garner and Terry Lee Taggart, meet up at the local tavern for their annual holiday libation. They reminisce about Christmases past and one special Christmas when they were in the sixth grade. That was the year Connor wanted a go-cart for Christmas in the worst way. And that's how he set out to get it. Miss McLaughlin, his teacher, really gummed up the works by handing out report cards just before vacation. "This is a socks and underwear card if ever there was one," his best friend tells him, and his other best friend is no help either. He is busy learning his one-word speech for the Christmas Pageant. His brother and sister stir up the household as the holiday approaches, and in his mind, Conner sees everyone ganged up against him like a Greek chorus. It's up to his Dad to perform the impossible by Christmas morning. Hysterical situations abound in this loving memory of Yuletide charm back when if you had a dollar it was more money than you knew what to do with; if you had an hour to play, it seemed forever and the best time in the whole world was Christmas.
