Don’t Miss Your Chance to Audition for the Stage Production of Believe!
The Hardeman County Arts Council is holding auditions for Believe!!, its Christmas season production, on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Along with a story, which is sure to capture your heart during the holiday season, the play includes traditional Christmas music.
Synopsis: It’s ten days before Christmas, and 15-year-old Alex Norton is struggling. He’s always loved Christmas, but the shine has left his favorite holiday. He sees Christmas as nothing more than an over-hyped, greedy, present-grabbing time of year. Where is the peace in this season that’s suppose to be all about the Prince of Peace? Alex wants to believe in something… but what? Reluctantly, he participates in “Project Christmas” at his church, where members of his youth group are preparing items for the homeless. First, we get a glimpse of the younger children’s adorable Christmas pageant rehearsal, including a child in half a donkey costume (missing his better half!) and a herd of adorable sheep complaining about their itchy wool costumes. Still not warming up to the season, Alex is finally convinced by Angela, a young friend who Alex finds out is homeless, to realize that if you work to make this world a brighter and better place, the peace grows. “It doesn’t help to curse the darkness, it only helps when you light a candle. That’s what God did for us that lovely, silent night.” Filled with warmth and laughter and brightened by traditional Christmas songs sung by the actors, a choir, or even your audience members, everyone touched by this play will find something in which they can truly . . . Believe!
