Audition Notice:
Christmas Belles
a jones hope wooten comedy
Directed by Jessica Walck
Get ready for Southern charm, Christmas chaos, and belly laughs! We’re holding auditions for Christmas Belles—a hilarious holiday comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten (creators of The Dixie Swim Club and The Savannah Sipping Society).
It’s Christmastime in Fayro, Texas, and the squabbling Futrelle sisters are trying to stage a Christmas program at the local church—but things aren’t going as planned. Between family feuds, love triangles, a kidney stone, and one very reluctant Elvis impersonator, Christmas Belles is a fast-paced farce full of heart and holiday hilarity.
We’re looking for a dynamic cast of comedic actors who can bring Southern flair and lovable eccentricity to this delightful ensemble.
Show dates: December 4-14
Character Descriptions
Frankie Futrelle Dubberly - 40s
The youngest Futrelle sister. Kind-hearted and heavily pregnant with twins, she’s struggling to stay calm amid the chaos, hormones, and unexpected family drama.
Twink Futrelle - 40s
The wild middle sister. Quick-tempered, sarcastic, and recently arrested for setting her cheating ex-boyfriend’s car on fire. A firecracker with a soft side buried deep.
Honey Raye Futrelle - 50ish
The oldest Futrelle sister and a flamboyant, theatrical soul. Desperate to redeem herself as the director of the church Christmas program. Equal parts chaos and charm.
G.J. Dubberly - 20s - 30s
Frankie and Dub’s spirited young daughter. Smart, sassy, and full of energy. G.J. is a bright spot in the midst of the family chaos and often has a more grounded perspective than the adults around her. She's confident, observant, and not afraid to speak up.
Dub Dubberly - 40s
Frankie’s well-meaning husband. A bit overwhelmed by the holiday madness and impending fatherhood, but always supportive and good-hearted.
Rhonda Lynn Lampley - 50s
The church secretary. Sardonic, grounded, and efficient. A voice of reason with a dry sense of humor and a low tolerance for nonsense.
Patsy Price - 40s - 60s
Bossy, opinionated, and socially ambitious. She’s determined to wrest control of the pageant and believes she knows what’s best for everyone—especially the church.
Raynerd Chisum - 30s - 50s
A sweet, childlike man with a deep love for Elvis. He may be slow, but his heart is pure, and he’s unexpectedly perfect for a key moment in the Christmas program.
Justin Waverly - 20s - 30s
A young, earnest pastor trying to hold the church together amid the insanity. Optimistic and good-natured, but completely out of his depth with the Futrelles.
Geneva Musgrave - 50s - 70s
A no-nonsense matriarch with strong opinions and a sharp tongue. Geneva doesn’t suffer fools gladly and isn’t afraid to speak her mind—especially to Honey Raye.
John Curtis Buntner - 35 - 55
A local policeman and Twink’s long-suffering ex-boyfriend. Earnest, good-hearted, and a little flustered, especially when dealing with Twink’s fiery temper and unpredictability.
