Kelsey Theater will hold auditions for its annual original Christmas show, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas", in about three weeks.
t'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 feels that if he writes an especially good poem, it would help her feel better. Some sugar plum fairies, a mouse named Diana, and good old St. Nick himself help him along in a story that will engage young children everywhere.
Auditionees should prepare a short monologue or Christmas poem no longer than one minute; a short song, preferably a Christmas carol, with sheet music; a resumé and headshot if they have them; and a list of conflicts between Nov. 3 and Dec. 7. Auditionees should also be prepared to dance. Auditionees must be seven years or older.
Parts include Clement Moore, Eliza Moore, Diana Mouse, the Moores' children, assorted townspeople of all ages, "Mr. Kringle", and dancers. However, Clement and Eliza Moore, Diana Mouse, and Mr. Kringle have all been precast.
Performances will occur at 7 p.m. Dec. 4; 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Dec. 5; and at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Dec. 6; with possible schoolday performances at 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. Dec. 4 and 7.
