The time is nigh for would-be child actors and stage moms. Two auditions are being held today to find kids for parts in upcoming Christmas shows.

The Off-Broadway Theatre is holding open auditions for a parody of “The Grouch Who Stole Christmas.” that stars the Sesame Street homeless character who lives in a garbage can. The production needs kids 6 to 16 and adults to fill out the cast. Children’s auditions are at 10 a.m. and adults at noon. Be prepared to belt out a tune. Call 801-355-4628 for more information. The Off-Broadway Theatre is at 272 S. Main St., Salt Lake City.

Desert Star Playhouse is also looking for children 7-12 to try out for a five-week acting class that will prepare them for the theater’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” Christmas show. They’ll have to sing a short number.

Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Desert Star Playhouse, 4861 S. State St., Salt Lake City.
