(Beach Haven, NJ) -- Surflight Theatre will hold local auditions for chorus roles in Irving Berlin's White Christmas on Saturday, September 22 from 10am-6pm at Beach Haven School Gymnasium (700 Beach Avenue -- corner of 7th Street, Beach Haven).
White Christmas, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin and book by David Ives and Paul Blake, will be directed and choreographed by Norb Joerder. Rehearsals begin October 29 in Beach Haven with matinee and evening performances from November 23 through December 21.
Based on the 1954 smash hit Paramount movie, White Christmas tells the story of two showbiz buddies who put on a show in a picturesque Vermont inn, and find their perfect mates in the bargain. Full of dancing, laughter and some of the greatest songs ever written, White Christmas promises to be a merry and bright theatrical experience for the entire family. The show features classic Irving Berlin hits such as "Blue Skies," "Sisters," "Happy Holiday," "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," "I Love a Piano" and the unforgettable title song, "White Christmas."
