Choose a song that fits your vocal range and skill level. Better to perform a simple song well than an overly challenging song poorly.
Choose a ballad for a male or female ingénue roles and a character song for character or comic roles.
Memorize the Lyrics
Don't forget to smile!
Come prepared with comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes for dance audition
Avoid first auditions on "Call Back" night unless you pre-arrange it with the director.

The Story:

A sweet story of a faith tested. In the church’s social hall at old St. Rufus, a band of novice angels and their leaders are awaiting orders and the arrival of the gregarious Gregory and silent Chuck—two angels so inept, even Job has lost patience with them! Meanwhile, the daughter of the pastor at St. Rufus, Gracie Adams, utters a prayer. She pleads for angelic help to save their beloved church, which is going to close down if they can’t attract more congregants. But when Chuck and Gregory’s plans fail to guarantee the survival of St. Rufus, Gracie questions if God really cares. Does He listen to our prayers? Does He send angels? The arrival of a loopy Christmas pageant director and reluctant teenage wise men from another church’s Christmas pageant test Gracie’s teetering faith even more. But once an angel finally speaks, Gracie learns you don’t have to be from “up there” to be an angel down here.
