Kelsey Theater will hold auditions for its annual homegrown musical "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" on October 20.
It's 1822, and Clement Moore is having trouble writing his annual Christmas poem. This is especially troubling because his youngest daughter Charity is ill, and he thinks that if he writes an especially good poem, it would help her feel better. Some sugar plum fairies, Diana Mouse, and St. Nick himself help him along in a story that will engage young children like modern Sesame Street.
Auditionees will need to prepare a minute-long monologue or Christmas poem, a short Christmas carol with sheet music, a resumé and photo if you have them, and a list of all conflicts between October 22 and December 9. They should also be prepared for a dance audition. All auditionees must be at least 7 years old.
Auditions will be from 12 to 3 p.m. Oct. 20 and from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 21. Appointments are required. Performances will be at 9:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. December 6 and December 9, at 7p.m. December 6; at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. December 7; and at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. December 8.
To make an audition appointment, or if you have any questions, contact KelseyTwas@gmail.com. Auditions will be held in the Communications Building behind Kelsey Theater, which is located on the MCC campus at 1200 Old Trenton Rd., West Windsor.
