Christmas: a time for magic. A time for the traditions we cherish. A time to watch as many original TV movies as a human being can possibly endure. But now with The Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon, you can enjoy the sugar rush of six Christmas movies all at once! Welcome to Hopewood Falls, Vermont, where singles in adorable sweaters converge to look for love. Can disguises help royalty and/or movie stars find the down-to-earth connections they crave? Will evil city slickers destroy charming inns and/or Christmas tree farms? Isn't it a little creepy for a meet-cute to depend on one person being in a coma? Grab a hot chocolate and your favorite wise single friend to find out in this wildly entertaining parody of holiday rom-coms.
Open auditions for this hilarious holiday rom-com parody directed by Louise Kearley will take place Sunday September 28 in the ballroom of the Hilton Garden Inn downtown.

NARRATOR 1 & NARRATOR 2 – These two roles are the overseers of the Christmas movie madness. They are a comedic duo who play off each other, sometimes relying on improv. They are sarcastic, excitable, passionate, and full of Christmas-filled aggression.
HOLLY, owner of the Evergreen Inn in Hopewood Falls, Vermont. A heart of gold.
BRETT, stranded by a snowstorm, but secretly a prince from Artemisia, a tiny aristocratic country in Europe that no one has ever heard of. Luckily, he’s rich, y’all.
JOY, a romance novelist, visiting the inn to try to break her writer’s block.
PAUL, a rival romance novelist, running his own writer’s retreat- kind of a self-important jerk, but with the love of the right woman, he’s probably a pretty nice guy.
CAROL, a war reporter, home for the holidays, tired of big city life. Goes a little off her rocker.
JACKSON, 35, a veterinarian, who owns two golden retrievers. Unconscious for a portion of the show, and drug around the stage occasionally.
MERRY, in town to search out the perfect Christmas tree for the big Christmas celebration in the big city. A real estate lawyer businessperson with no time for love.
BLAKE, rugged, owner of a tree farm. He’s heartbroken but oh-so-handsome.
KRIS, the son of the former Santa Claus in the town parade, but he has troubles, y’all. Troubles. Currently working as a real estate lawyer business-person.
NOELLE, owner of the oldest Christmas ornament boutique in town, charged with helping Kris quit his job and become a full time Santa. Filled with the Christmas spirit.
SVEN, the secret prince of Broxtenburg, which is another tiny aristocratic country in Europe that no one has ever heard of. Shocker, he’s also rich as heck.
RITA, movie star filming a movie in Hopewood Falls, but pretending to be an ordinary girl.
BRIDGETTE, the boisterous best friend of all the women.
