Description:

Looking for performers for the "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas! This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs. Additional info: Audition Sides: Some actors may be asked to read one or more sides provided during the audition. Rehearsals: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays - The first rehearsal is Tuesday, September 23rd. Attendance by all the cast and crew at the first rehearsal is required and nonnegotiable. Generally, weekday rehearsals will be from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. An in-depth rehearsal schedule is provided at the first rehearsal. Additional rehearsals may be called, if needed. Rehearsals may be limited to small groups with various arrival and dismissal times. Rehearsal attendance is crucial, but no absences are allowed unless disclosed in registration form conflicts. Inability to attend rehearsals affects casting eligibility. Family Volunteer Expectations: Parent and family participation is a natural part of the community theatre experience. We expect each family to contribute approximately 20 hours to the production prior to performances (set building, work inside the theatre, show promotion, etc.) plus working before, during, or after most performances. Volunteer positions will be reviewed at the first rehearsal.
