Festival Theatre will hold auditions on Saturday, October 11th for youth roles in the holiday show “A Christmas Story.”

“The roles are for the young Ralphie Parker, his brother, friends, and classmates who range in age from 6 to 11,” said Danette Olsen of Festival Theatre. “We anticipated casting at least five boys and two girls, but it is likely that we will also cast three to five extras who will help establish playground and classroom scenes. We may be double-casting a few roles to help our young actors accommodate a very busy rehearsal and performance calendar.”

Registration is required to audition and all the details can be received by sending an e-mail request to boxoffice@festivaltheatre.org. On Wednesday, October 8th a required orientation will take place at 4:30 p.m. to explain the rehearsal and performance schedule, to help young actors know what to expect during the audition process, and to answer family questions about participation. For actors auditioning for the first time at Festival Theatre a thirty-minute audition workshop will be held immediately following the orientation.

St. Croix Festival Theatre is located in downtown St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin at 210 North Washington Street. For more information or to register for auditions, call the Festival Theatre Box Office at 715-483-3387.
