Show Info:

Springhouse Theatre Company is thrilled to invite you to audition for our upcoming production of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, directed by Marcus Lackey and featuring the artistic expertise of Music Director Denise Earnest and Choreographer Melissa Becker.

Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is a joyous holiday musical that tells the story of veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, who become a successful song-and-dance team after World War II. When they meet the talented Haynes sisters, Betty and Judy, romance and adventure ensue as they all travel to a Vermont inn for a Christmas show. Upon arrival, they discover the inn is owned by their former army commander, who is facing financial difficulties. Determined to help, they put on a spectacular musical extravaganza filled with love, laughter, and classic Irving Berlin tunes, including the iconic “White Christmas.”
