Kincaid Regional Theatre in Falmouth, KY (45-50 minutes from Northern Kentucky) announces auditions for this season’s Christmas show, I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.  With a backdrop of the early 1940s, the show is a musical set in the magic of radio days, as the nation was struggling to come out of the Great Depression and facing the certainty of World War II.  The show addresses timeless family challenges while mixing in the high-spirited, madcap behavior of early 1940’s entertainment.

This is a paid production.  No roles have been pre-cast.
