The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Auditions
Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER
Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702
SYNOPSIS:In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids--probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem - and the fun - when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States! Features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and a lot of laughs!
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
Directed by: Katie Wells
