This beloved American holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940’s radio broadcast. The cast has a minimum of 3 men and 2 women performing a variety of characters, but additional actors may be used. This ensemble piece calls for actors that can voice a variety of characters, from old to young including some children and a Foley Artist to do sound effects live on stage. Because it is a “radio broadcast” the age and appearance of the cast is open. Singing ability a plus but not required.

Auditions will consist of a cold read from the script. If you are interested in working backstage please come to either night of auditions to meet the director and share contact information.

Show Dates: November 24 to December 16, 2018

    Jason Crewse told me about these auditions. It sounds like fun. I would be very interested. I just want to make sure I don’t have major schedule conflicts before coming in to audition. Can you tell me about the rehearsal schedule?

    Thanks.

      John:

      Rehearsal is usually Monday through Thursday starting at 7, but that always changes based on the cast. Since this show could have as few as 5 or as many as 25, I see the rehearsal calendar being very flexible.

      Best thing to do is come down tonight and introduce yourself to the director and let her know what conflicts you have.
