Hello!
We are getting so excited about our upcoming auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! We also have some other exciting news… If you saw our previous shows, The BFG or Sideways Stories from Wayside School, you may remember our “Opening Act”. This is a short skit we do before the show and/or after intermission to add to our main production.
We will be doing something similar for this show, as the run time for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is about 60 minutes. We want to make sure we can incorporate as many kids as possible who want to be involved. So this means there are more roles available for kids than just the cast listed below. There will be more details to come about this.
Auditions will be August 21st and 22nd at First Covenant Church in Iron Mountain.
We are trying to add another audition date to accommodate thoes who can not attend the 21st or 22nd. We will let you know once we figure out when that will be.
Please sign up at the link below. We do need to have an accurate count for auditions to run smoothly so signing up ahead of time is necessary, as we may need to limit the number of auditionees.
