However, we will also have some room in the show for talented soloists, duos, and trios to perform their own holidays songs, dances, and other random routines. So, we invite you to send in a traditional video showing us your expertise in singing/acting, but we also are welcoming videos showcasing your other unique talents (i.e. comedians, musicians, ballerinas, etc.)

This show will run Dec 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, with Saturdays being matinees only. Rehearsals will begin in late October and be 2x per week, typically on Monday or Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings.

To audition: please send an email with your headshot/resume/videos (or whatever you want us to see) to [email protected] on, or before, October 13, 2025.

Roles in the script range from grandparents/parents to youth and really young people. All are welcome to audition, even those with little experience! Young people under the age of 12 will be considered if they have an older sibling or adult also in the show.

Good luck everybody. This is going to be such a fun show.
