SEEKING the Children of Whoville:
All gender identities and expressions, 18+ to play younger, must be 5’2” or shorter. The Children of Whoville are the life and pulse of the Holidays. We’re looking for performers who can sing and dance, and having acrobatic and/or gymnastic abilities would be a plus, but they are absolutely not required. Young Who Ensemble members should also be strong singers with diverse vocal ranges.
WHAT TO PREPARE:
Dance: Be prepared to dance first. Wear heels or flats, whichever you’re most comfortable in.
Singing: If invited to sing after the dance call, prepare 16-32 bars of a song in the style of the show that spreads Christmas joy.
Bring a hardcopy headshot and resume stapled together. Sheet music is needed for singing, and an accompanist will be provided. Please have a headshot/resume; if not, you’ll be asked to print one.
At this stage, we’re not accepting video submissions. Thank you for your understanding.
