Elf Jr. Audition Form

Audition Form - Elf Jr.

ELF JR AUDITIONS Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make every young performer embrace their "inner elf" with plenty of large ensemble numbers featuring elves and (New Yorkers) of every type. ***Ages 10-18 may audition ** *** Read through/meet and greet: June 27th (TBC). **. *** Rehearsals start September 6th. **. *** Rehearsal times are Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30-7:00 and Sundays 1:00-5:00.
