What to Prepare:
Song: Students should prepare 30 seconds of a song from the show. Please be ready to sing with a karaoke track provided by N-PAC staff on audition day.
Monologue: Please choose one monologue from the list below to perform for our panel at auditions. Your choice of monologue does NOT mean that is the only part you are interested in, or will be considered for. We are open to non-traditional casting! With that in mind- please choose a monologue that you will have fun preparing and performing!
Notes for Actors: These Characters are iconic, and larger than life! They tell the story with their voices, facial expressions, and physical movement. We are looking for energetic actors, singers, and dancers who will help tell our story in a LIVELY way!
​
Monologue options:
​
SANTA
Once upon a time there was this young woman, Susan Welles, she had a baby, but she passed away soon after he was born. That baby was put in an orphanage, and one Christmas night he crawled into my toy sack, and I brought him back here by mistake. The elves took him in, raised him as one of their own. Buddy, it's you! It’s your story!
BUDDY Option 1
I just like smiling. Smiling's my favorite! Sounds like someone needs to sing a Christmas Carol, don’t you know the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear?! It’s fun! (singing) I’m Singing! I’m in a store and I'm Singing!
BUDDY Option 2
Call it a night?! No! We’ve still got so much to do on our date. It’s too early to take you home. Hey, did I tell you? You look miraculous. Oh. Oh, I know! Let’s do something Christmas-y! Oh! Let’s go skating! I’m not a great skater though, Santa says I’m a hazard. He calls me “Edward Scissorfeet” Now you have to spread it around and remember the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
JOVIE
Stop. Let’s make a pact. If you try to be less elf-y, I’ll try to be less witchy. I came to Rockefeller Center last year too, my first Christmas in New York. I’m from L.A. Christmases there are surreal. No snow. I’ve never even seen snow. I’ve always wanted to. I’ve been here for almost two years and it hasn’t snowed once. You know, when I was a kid I dreamed of having a snowy Christmas Eve dinner at Tavern on the Green with Billy Crystal. That sounds so stupid.
​
EMILY HOBBS: Walter, I’ve been very busy the last couple of days. You see, I took a strand of Buddy’s hair and a few strands of your hair from the sink, then I had my cousin from Beth Israel Hospital compare the two and... you have an elf for a son.
​
WALTER HOBBS: I cannot deal with this anymore. Just go back to the apartment, get your things and leave. I don’t care where you go. I don’t care that you’re an elf. I don’t care if you’re my son. Just get out of my life forever.
​
MICHAEL HOBBS: Dad, Buddy is missing, He left a note on an Etcha-sketch and he’s gone, and you’re not going to believe what we just saw. No you don’t understand. Me and Mom both saw...Santa Clause.
