Auditions for roles in The Night Before Christmas ballet are being held on Friday, Sept 1 from 6-7:30 at the Ballet Aligned studios, 1115 N. 200 E. #320 in Logan. Roles to be cast include children's acting roles, speaking roles for an adult and child, and others.

This is the second year the ballet will be presented and will again be a benefit to The Little Lambs Foundation for Kids. Last year, the benefit raised $4,900 over two shows including one that was sold out.

Ballet Aligned, in partnership with the Utah Festival Conservatory, aim to make the production part of Cache Valley's annual Christmas traditions. In addition to guests from Ballet West and students from Ballet Aligned, this year's production hopes to add a children's choir and tap-dancing reindeer.

The Night Before Christmas is showing at the Utah Theater, December 11 and 12. Registration for the free audition on Sept 1, and more information about the show can be found at BalletBenefit.com.
