Thank you for your interest in Auditioning with TAC at the Lake!

This is a cold-read audition, so nothing to prepare for. Come ready to read from the script (assistance can be provided).
Audition forms are here: Audition Forms. Please complete it before your audition.
Rehearsal Schedule: October 22, 2024 - December 5, 2024 (See Calendar below)
Usually Monday-Friday 6:00 pm-8:30 pm. Not every actor will be needed each night.
Show Dates: December 6 -8 and 12-15 2024
A FREE audition class will be held October 19 from 10am -11:00. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the audition process and get comfortable with a cold read. No sign-up necessary for the class, just show up!
This is an all ages show with lots of opportunities for young kids, teens and young adults!
The audition will be a cold read, so nothing to prepare. If you are comfortable, you can also prepare a short monologue - original or borrowed! The prepared monologue is a great opportunity for teens to show off their acting chops.
Please fill out the audition form in advance and bring it with you to the theater. We will have some hard copies available if needed. We will also ask that only the actors auditioning enter the theater. Parents are asked to remain in their car or in the lobby (Max of 8 parents in Lobby).
If you are cast, you will be invited to the parent meeting on Tuesday, October 22 at 6pm.
Remember! Casting is subjective and completely based on someone else’s opinion. Sometimes casting decisions are based on age, looks, height, or how you look next to other cast members. You will not get cast in every role you want and sometimes you won’t get cast at all. If you are not cast in this show, you should still celebrate the fact that you gave it your best shot.
SUMMARY
In this hilarious Christmas classic, 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 head-on with the story of Christmas!
This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.
