“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” Play Casting Actors

Theater
Description

Actors needed for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” show. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see more info below.

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, funny, and touching holiday classic.

Additional info:
The audition will consist of prepared monologues from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, provided to auditioners by August 1st and cold-reads from the script.
Please note: there is a production fee for this show.
