Orange Barrel Production Company Auditions

 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 Herdman’s 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, lots of laughs and just maybe a few tears.
