Theatre 8:15 proudly announces auditions for THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER - The Musical SYNOPSIS: 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 Bradley and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic. Directed/Musically Directed by: Jared Sparks Choreographer: Andrea Anderson Stage Manager: Gretchen Boyea Auditions will be held on Tuesday, October 19th and Wednesday, October 20th from 6:00-8:00pm TO SIGN UP FOR A TIME SLOT, PLEASE VISIT: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040d48aca628a0f58-auditions <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040d48aca628a0f58-auditions?fbclid=IwAR2uQAeHEHtx6dHL9wzTNNE8vJfWXvxRihjpKGDfcoxvos1Os3FBZGlDO10> All auditioners are asked to come prepared with one minute of a song of their choosing.
