Casting Call: 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'

"It's a Wonderful Life." "A Christmas Carol." Some things are an inextricable part of Christmas.

Children from 5 to 16 years old will have a chance to be a part of one of them as Villagers Theatre holds auditions for “A Charlie Brown Christmas." The show is a licensed production of the classic TV special based on Charles Schulz' perennially popular "Peanuts" comic strip.

Produced by Marie Fiorello, the show is under the direction of  Emily Russoniello. All roles are open.

Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 22 and Sept. 25. Shows will be held at noon and 3 p.m. Saturdays and noon Sundays, from Dec. 13-21.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas" first was shown as an animated television special in 1965, when its child voice actors and upbeat jazz score by Vince Guaraldi made it a surprise hit with audiences, and turned into a regular feature of the Christmas holiday ever since. This stage adaptation was completed in 2013.

Roles available include:
Charlie Brown
Snoopy
Lucy
Linus
Pig Pen
