ABOUT THE SHOW:
 
Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told. In this fast, furious, and slightly irreverent look at holiday classics and traditions. Santa Claus, Rudolph, the Grinch, and just about every other seasonal character, make an appearance in this comedy that will hopefully have you laughing all the way to the New Year!
 
Performance dates and times at the Violet Township Community Theater at the Wigwam Event Center (10190 Blacklick-Eastern Rd NW, Pickerington, OH 43147) are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM and 2:00 PM on Sundays, December 1 – 10.
 
This production will be directed by Megan Gibson. This production will carry a PG rating for mild language and lightly suggestive humor.
 
 

 

Pickerington Community Theatre will hold open auditions for the Spring production of Junie B. Jones The Musical JR., December 8 – 9!

Open auditions for actors 6 -18 will be held at Epiphany Lutheran Church (268 Hill Road North, Pickerington, OH 43147) on Friday, December 8, 2023 from 6:30pm-9:00pm and Saturday, December 9, 2023 from 10:00am – 1:00pm.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Join Junie B. on her first day of first grade, where many changes are in store: Junie’s best friend Lucille has found new best friends -— and Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard — and she may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.

THE PROCESS:

Click HERE to download an audition form to complete and bring with you to auditions. Character descriptions will soon be available. Auditioners should bring a calendar that includes conflicts; we highly recommend that they come with a completed audition form that indicates ALL possible conflicts.

Auditioners may attach a resume and picture if preferred (not required). They will have their picture taken and an audition number assigned.

Auditions will consist of a music audition and (if auditioning for a speaking role) a cold reading audition. Auditioners will need to prepare a song excerpt (approx. 1-2 minutes) for your music audition. Music should be Disney, Broadway, or Jazz Standard style, but NOT a song from Junie B. Jones The Musical JR. Auditioners may bring their phones with lyrics, a CD, or sheet music for our accompanist. The Director requests that auditioners do not sing a capella.

CASTING:

The final cast list will be sent via email by Wednesday night, December 13, 2023 and posted on our website.

REHEARSALS:

Rehearsals will be held Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Sunday afternoons, with the first rehearsal scheduled for Friday, January 5. ALL cast members will be required to attend the first rehearsal to receive materials, take costume measurements, and complete any paperwork.

TECH WEEK:

Sunday through Thursday before opening night (no rehearsal Wednesday). Tech week will include weeknight rehearsals. CAST MUST ATTEND ALL REHEARSALS DURING TECH WEEK, NO EXCEPTIONS. Tech crew should expect to attend all rehearsals during tech week.

PERFORMANCES:

All performances will be held at the Violet Township Community Theater at the Wigwam Event Center (10190 Blacklick-Eastern Road NW, Pickerington, OH 43147).
