A new TOSAC Christmas Tradition!
Auditions will be held at TOSAC’s Storefront Theater on Monday, October 28th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Directed by Kimsey Hodge, this hilarious Christmas classic is one of pure chaos and enjoyment! A couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids–probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on!
This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States! Features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and a lot of laughs!
Show Dates in December on the 14th, 15th and 20th and 21st.
