On Saturday, Aug. 5, auditions for the 37th Annual Christmas Candlelight Celebration will be held at the Waystation Auditorium from 1 – 4 p.m.
Tryon Palace is looking for men and women ages 18 and older for speaking and nonspeaking roles, as well as individuals who are willing to perform as 18th-century dancers.
Candlelight is a colonial Christmas celebration held at Tryon Palace every year. The celebration is a famed North Carolina tradition that takes visitors through time inside the Governor’s Palace and historic homes, all illuminated by the glow of candlelight.
Those chosen to have roles in this event will be crucial aspects to the reenactment of each time period’s Christmas celebrations throughout the grounds.
Tryon Palace’s 37th annual Christmas Candlelight Celebration is scheduled for Saturdays, December 9 and 16. Those auditioning should plan on performing at both dates, if selected.
