Their neighbor, Fred Gailey, tries to woo Doris by charming Susan and taking her to see Santa Claus at Macy's, where Doris works. Doris is not impressed, but when it turns out that Macy's Santa may, in fact, be the real Kris Kringle, a wave of love spreads across New York City that melts even the most cynical hearts. Filled with humor, spectacle and such beloved songs as "Pinecones and Hollyberries," "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "My State, My Kansas," this joyous, heartwarming musical is pure family entertainment, wholesome without being cloying. A star-vehicle for a female actress that features great roles for children, the show is a cast- and crowd-pleaser. With its built-in audience base, *Miracle on 34th Street The Musical* is the perfect holiday treat for any theatre! *Casting Requirements:*It is the director's goal to engage a large and diverse cast in this family friendly classic.

AUDITIONS Buzzard Cove Screampark
by bob russell 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Do you love Halloween? Do you love Terrifying people? Do you love Acting? Are you looking for a place where you can combine all three and get paid to do it? The Buzzard Cove Screampark is looking for Haunt Actors for this Halloween Season! We will be holding an open audition on Saturday, 9/1 from Noon - 3pm in the open lot next to the Buzzard Cove mini golf and driving range located @ 1053 Bellus Rd Hinckley, Oh 44233. Signs will be posted indicating where to go. The Haunt will operate Thursdays through Sundays, 9/27-10/28. Thursdays and Sundays from 7pm -10pm Fridays and Saturdays from 7pm - Midnight. Questions, please email: buzzardcovescreampark(a)gmail.com About the main Haunt we are looking for performers for...the theme is, well … Hell. Visitors will walk into a series of rooms that set the stage for a descent into the basement, where things get pretty bleak. A cult has taken over the Barn and released the forces of evil. In one room, you will find a fortuneteller, and the outlook is not good. Another room is full of mannequins dressed in all black conjuring demons. There’s a creepy doll room where all the occupants have no eyes. And in the barn’s basement is where true evil resides - one room has animal carcasses hanging from the ceiling and at the end the walls are covered in human skin (actually gallon after gallon of latex) and body parts.
