Madeline’s Christmas is a musical based upon the series of children’s books by Ludwig Bemelmans.  Madeline is irrepressibly charming and fearless, and every story about Madeline begins: 

                                                “In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.  They left the house, a half past nine…The smallest one was Madeline.” 

          The cast has roles for 12 little girls who should look to be in the 7-12 age range.  All girls will be asked to sing their prepared songs at the audition. They will also be asked to read from a section of the script—there is nothing to prepare in advance for the reading.  No French dialects will be used in the play.  

          Rehearsals will begin in early October. Rehearsals will be held 3 afternoons a week between (approximately) 4 pm and 7 pm (specific days TBA) and on some Saturdays and Sundays during the day (Dates and times TBA.)  Dress/technical rehearsals will be held during the day on Sunday, November 15 at noon; Monday, November 16 at 6:00 p.m.; Tuesday, November 17 at 6:00 p.m.; Wednesday, November 18 at 6 pm and Saturday, November 21st at 10 a.m.     

          Please complete the MADELINE AUDITION APPLICATION and CONFLICT CALENDAR and bring these with you to the audition.  Please staple a clear photo to application.  Photos cannot be returned.

 Please list all UNAVOIDABLE conflicts on the calendar.  ALL ACTORS MUST ATTEND THE DRESS/TECHNICAL REHEARSALS on 11/15; 11/16; 11/17; 11/18 and 11/21.  We strongly encourage you to list all conflicts—DO NOT wait until your child has been cast.  We can be somewhat flexible (except on dress/tech rehearsal dates) but please know that multiple conflicts will influence casting consideration.
