Actors for "The Santa Switch" Theatre Production
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Video auditions for "The Santa Switch" play, seeking for actors. See more details below. About the project: Set in mid-century New York City and the North Pole, The Santa Switch is the magical tale of how Santa and Mrs. Claus try to retire and pass the baton to the new Santa. When the magic sleigh bells choose a young New York ad exec for the iconic position, he declines the offer, putting the North pole and the fate of Christmas in jeopardy of disappearing forever. The Santa Switch includes the hit Christmas songs “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” as well as popular songs including “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors, and Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway,” among many others. Additional info: For auditions, please be prepared to sing 30-60 seconds of a song in the style of the musical. You can sing with a prerecorded accompaniment track, a karaoke track, or acapella. Directors will have a Bluetooth speaker that you can use. There will also be a dance portion of the audition, so please come dressed in something that you can move in. If interested, please apply.
7 roles
Idealistic. Plucky. Loyal. An aspiring artist, Lucy came to New York in search of her place in the world. She believes in the inherent goodness of people; her optimism in the human spirit is infectious. It also gets her in trouble Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3
Ambitious. Charismatic. Cynical. Great hair. With a chip on his shoulder, Jack is a high-powered advertising executive gunning for his next score. Smooth with the ladies and emotionally distant, he’s not the guy you’d peg to don a red velvet suit and pass out toys to girls and boys. Vocal range top: Bb4 Vocal range bottom: Bb2
At first glance, he’s the jolly, bearded gent of yore with a belly full of jelly. But he’s now at a turning point: after a century in the sleigh, he doesn’t quite have the passion for the grind he once did. Might it be time to pass the reins? Vocal range top: E4 Vocal range bottom: B2
The bespectacled, gray-haired matron of The North Pole, she’s always been satisfied as the “woman behind the Big Man.” When she’s forced to step up and save Christmas, she realizes she likes calling the shots! And she’s great at it. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Santa’s no-nonsense, upbeat Head Elf with an aggressively “cheerful” demeanor. Loves Christmas with a chipper, adorable intensity heretofore unknown in the mortal world. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: B3
Unflinchingly kind and warmhearted. Almost “too nice,” Topher runs Kringlez Kidz, a children’s charity. If Santa were a socially awkward young professional in mid-century Manhattan, this jovial square is how you’d imagine him. Vocal range top: E4 Vocal range bottom: D3
The ensemble plays a number of roles, including various children, diner denizens, salespeople, a sparkle of elves (including Cinnamon, Juniper, Gingersnap, Glitterpants, Becky and others), Arthur, Hildy, Chester, Operator, bar patrons, Mrs. Callaway, Businessman, Kringlez Kidz Dancers, partygoers, security guards and others.
