TrueNorth Cultural Arts in partnership with Lorain County Metro Parks is pleased to announce auditions for the 2015-2016 Main Stage production of…

IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS The Musical
Music & Lyric's by Irving Berlin

PERFORMANCE DATES
December 4th - 20th, 2015
Friday & Saturday at 7:30pm
Sunday at 3:00pm

Directed by Lisa Yanofsky

Featuring songs and a story that will warm even the most frigid winter night, White Christmas is a present for all this holiday season! Bob and Phil team up to form a song-and-dance duo following their service in the army, but no training has prepared them for the amorous battle of wits they encounter when they pursue a pair of singing sisters to a picturesque Vermont Inn. Chocked to the brim with classic comedy, sweeping romance and a bevy of Irving Berlin Tunes including the standard “White Christmas,” this glowing adaptation of the 1954 film is the coziest way to keep out the cold!
