The Flight Before Xmas By Maggie Lee

Directed by Lia Sima Fakhouri

Asst Director Helen T. Mariam

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A 10 YEAR OLD FEMALE CHILD FOR THE ROLE OF GEMMA.

About the play:

Stranded at the airport on Christmas Eve…could it get any worse?! With endless delays, kids shuttling between stepfamilies, and a rogue cat on the loose, the holiday spirit can disappear quicker than your lost luggage. But maybe you need to be a little late to truly appreciate what you’re rushing toward. A heartwarming family holiday show about the connections between us, and how they help us find our way home.

Black, Indigenous, and global majority are encouraged to audition.
