ABOUT THE SHOW:
This world premiere Christmas comedy finds the North Pole in distress and disarray. The toys are behind schedule, the cookie kitchen is a mess, the reindeer are arguing over who should lead the sleigh, and Santa is in a mood. Reina Deer goes to Santa with a suggestion to start a glee club. She thinks that singing will lift everyone's spirits and help get things done. Santa is not sold on the idea, especially not now, with so few hours left until TTF (Time-To-Fly). But, not wanting to discourage her enthusiasm, he tells her that if she can find three people (any species) who will agree to join her club, then he will approve it. But it won't be easy. There are mischievous Humbug pests that are swarming the North Pole. Can Reina find three people who will join her glee club before TTF? Or will Christmas be ruined by the mischievous Humbugs?

General Audition Guidelines
Village Players of Fort Thomas generally holds auditions between 4-6 months prior to the production dates. Auditions are always "open", meaning that all roles are available, unless specifically requested by the director and approved by the board. Any pre-casting decisions will be disclosed in the audition announcement.
📅 Audition Dates:
There will usually be two different audition dates, sometimes followed by a callback date.
Directors will often accept video auditions if you're unable to attend the posted time(s).
📍 Location: most often, auditions are held at 8 North Center for the Arts (8 N. Fort Thomas Ave.)
Judith M. Sarakatsannis Gallery (enter through front door)
✨ What to Prepare:
Some directors ask for a prepared monologue or song. Some will provide scene sides. Others will primarily work from cold readings from the script. Often it is possible to borrow a copy of the script to review. Headshots and resumes are appreciated, and you should definitely bring a list of conflicts from your schedule during the expected rehearsal time (generally two months leading up to the production dates)
