Auditions for Musical "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"

Doylestown, OH, United States
ID: 321239Exp: 10/3/2026
Description:

Performers wanted for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical" play. See the breakdown below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: This is the story of the Herdmans, who are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully other kids, and they smoke smelly cigars. There used to be only one place where you'd never see them — church. This all changes when Charlie Bradley brags that his Sunday school offers free snacks. All six of the Herdmans show up at church in search of pizza, cookies and Hawaiian Punch, and end up in the Christmas pageant. Charlie's mom, Grace, is the novice director, who not only casts them in the show but, much to the dismay of the other kids, lets them play all the leads. Grace instantly finds herself caught between two forces of nature — the Herdmans and Helen Armstrong, who speaks for all of the outraged citizens of the town. Grace has two choices: get rid of the Herdmans, or let them stay and risk being blamed for the worst pageant in the history of the world. Additional info: Performances: weekends of December 4–6 and 11–13. Rehearsals: Sunday through Thursday evenings. No rehearsals on Fridays or Saturdays. Location: Doylestown, OH. Please come prepared with a resume, headshot, and 1 minute/32 bars of a Christmas song that best fits your voice, either a cappella or with recorded musical accompaniment (karaoke background, etc). Be prepared to cold read selections from the script. Experience from 2025 will be a consideration. If interested, please apply.
