Auditions: Nuncrackers
September 29 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center will hold auditions for Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 29 and 30, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the theater. Auditions are open to community performers of all experience levels — no experience necessary, and no appointment needed.
Dan Goggin’s Nuncrackers brings the Little Sisters of Hoboken to Christmas: a holiday musical comedy of songs, dancing, laughs and a good deal of festive chaos, taped as a cable-access Christmas special from the convent basement.
Roles
Ten roles in all.
- Five nuns — the Little Sisters of Hoboken.
- One male role — a monk who takes over the show’s cooking segment. A major comic part.
- Four youth roles — students of the convent school. Two girls and two boys as written; gender flexible.
