Casting Call: 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'

A Charlie Brown Christmas" was first 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.

Hedgehog and Feather Theatre Co. will hold auditions for the stage adaptation of this Christmas classic in just a few days. They are seeking those in grades 5-10.

Auditionees should wear appropriate clothing for the dance audition, and are recommended to familiarize themselves with the Christmas special. They should also be prepared to sing the songs "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". They will be asked to read from sides.

Rehearsals will be held on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings. Auditions will be held 6:30-9:30 p.m. September 28; auditionees must have no conflicts December 7 through 12. Performances will be December 11 and 12.
