2026 Holiday Show
PERFORMANCES
December 9–13, 2026
Audition Checklist
Please read the instructions and review all corresponding documents before beginning an audition form. Links to these documents are provided below the list.
Please complete an audition form in full.
Please record yourself performing all of the following tasks in one video:
A) A brief introduction, including your name and age. Please have your entire body in the shot rather than a close up.
B) Select and prepare two (2) acting sides provided below. Please have someone off camera read for the second character in each scene.
C) Sing 16 bars (or 30 seconds) of Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, or We Wish You a Merry Christmas. This can be done a cappella. The actors sing carols together throughout the play, but they are speedy and often comical, so we just need to ensure you can match pitch.
There are instructions below detailing how to upload your audition video, which must be provided as a link in your audition form to be considered for a role. Please do not submit the form without the link.
Everyone except those only interested in tech (see blue section at the bottom of the page) must submit an audition form featuring an audition video link by Saturday, September 19th before 11:59 PM to be considered for a role.
If you still have questions after thoroughly reviewing all of the
documents provided here, please email Stephen Billy.
