Seeking:
Non-Union performers for principal roles, 18 and over, with dynamic personalities, who are comfortable with various music/vocal/dance styles and are able to entertain by connecting with an audience. Theme Park and Cruise Ship credits are a plus.

STARLIGHT: Female, Early to Late 20's. A feisty, upbeat Fairy who lives her life spreading the joy and spirit of the Holiday Season. She is Santa's best friend and always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Strong singer and actress. Power belt/mix with soul and heart.
LOLLI: Female, Early to Late 20's. An overworked, exhausted, and at times grumpy Candy Maker. She has lost her ability to create Christmas Treats and likes to offer a snide comment against her better judgement. Strong singer, mover, and comedic actress. Character belt.
HANS: Male, 20's to Early 30's. A Nutcracker with a nut allergy. He is upset that he's not wanted for Christmas and hides away afraid to make new friends. Sweet and bashful energy despite his commanding & militaristic presence. Strong singer and actor. Bari-Tenor.
