Performers Wanted for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show

Yadkinville, NC, United States
ID: 292727Exp: 9/26/2025
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. 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. Additional info: Please prepare 16-32 bars of a song (preferably from a musical and approx 1 minute) in the same style as the show or directly from the show. Bring your own sheet music for our accompanist or be prepared to play a karaoke track from your phone as you sing. If your sheet music is too difficult for our accompanist you may be asked to sing along to an instrumental track. If you are auditioning with an exceptionally tricky song- please find an accompaniment track that works well for you ahead of time just in case. Additional info: SHOW DATES: 12/11-12/14 2025
