We are seeking two classically trained First Soprano performers and one female Musical Theater performer (Alto preferred) to audition for "The Bracebridge Dinner at Yosemite 2025," an elaborate Christmas-themed Renaissance dinner theatre production held annually since 1927 at Yosemite's world-famous Ahwahnee Hotel.
The two Soprano 1 positions require excellent vocal skills, and experience in a choral setting. The female Musical Theater performer candidate will understudy multiple character roles and must have strong comedic timing and experience with Scottish and cockney accents. Movement experience a plus. The selected performers will also be part of the Ensemble for the Bracebridge Dinner shows and participate in a Holiday Concert program.

Movement experience a plus for all understudy candidates and Ensemble singers.
