Holiday Play Auditions/Interest Meeting

Attention Teens and Adults!


We will be holding an interest meeting/auditions for A Partridge in a Pear Tree, our upcoming holiday comedy.


"It's Christmas Eve. The Partridge family can't wait to fly south for the holidays... that is, until they find themselves snowed in at the airport! Poor Jenny Partridge is forced to endure more than the usual family torture: a mother who can't cook to save her life, an embarrassing dad who thinks he's James Bond, and an incredibly annoying little brother whose sole goal in life is to drive people crazy. Now she has to deal with love-struck Kevin Schneider, the boy who's been writing her love poems since kindergarten; an overzealous but lovable security guard with an itchy trigger finger; a grouchy old airline manager, ironically named Mr. Smiley; and (horror of all horrors) Kevin's dictatorial mother, who is determined to Martha Stewart-ize the entire airport . . .and everyone in it! But somewhere amidst the "Tannen-bomb" threats, poisonous strudel, marriage proposals, and full-body tackles, Jenny and her family and friends discover that Christmas isn't about where you are; it's about the people you're with."


If you are at all interested in helping out with this play, whether as an actor or a member of the crew, please come either Wednesday or Thursday to a laid back meeting, where we will talk about the show and read through some pages.


If you aren't sure you want to participate but want to know more, come Wednesday or Thursday to ask your questions and find out more. No commitment necessary just to come to auditions.


The production will take place December 1-3, 8, and 10, with evening performances on Fridays and Saturday and afternoon performances on Sunday.


Note: No nonspeaking roles are available for this production.
