Seattle Public Theater

✨AUDITIONS ARE OPEN!✨ for Seattle Public Theater's production of THE FLIGHT BEFORE XMAS by Maggie Lee.

Virtual submissions will be open until Tuesday June 30th, at noon.

About the Show: "With all the stress of the holidays, spending Christmas Eve stranded in an airport with a bunch of strangers is the last thing anyone needs! With endless delays, kids shuttling between stepfamilies, a rogue cat on the loose, an important business deal at stake, and missing your grandson’s first Christmas morning, the holiday spirit can disappear quicker than your lost luggage. But sometimes, all you need is to be a little late in order to truly appreciate what you’re rushing toward."

The Flight Before Xmas will begin rehearsals in early October, and the show will run November 20 - 29 & December 23-26, 2026.

Who Should Audition: This cast will include both adult actors over the age of 18 to play the adult roles, and youth performers age 12-18 to play the youth roles. All youth roles will be open to all gender identities.
