GARDNER — Performers are invited to audition for Theatre at the Mount’s upcoming production of “White Christmas,” a Broadway-style holiday musical filled with nostalgia, romance, and classic Irving Berlin songs.
Based on the beloved film, “White Christmas” follows two showbiz partners who team up with a talented sister act in an effort to save a Vermont inn while discovering friendship, love, and plenty of holiday magic along the way.
Directed by Rob Houle, with music direction by Joanne Landry and choreography by Dawn Ross, the production is seeking a large adult cast and ensemble of performers ages 16 and older, as well as one young actress between the ages of 8 and 13.
Auditions will be held by appointment only at Mount Wachusett Community College, Room A110 (formerly Room 182), 444 Green St., on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 6:30 p.m.
Those auditioning should prepare a short vocal selection that showcases their abilities and range. Sheet music should be provided if the selection is not from the show. Performers should wear appropriate footwear for the dance audition, and tap dancers should bring tap shoes.
