Come join our Christmas Comedy Musical Whodunit. Role: Audience member enjoying a Christmas Play.
Beverly's Terrace Plaza Playhouse will soon transform into a lively Christmas theatre audience as Community Film Project films one of the final scenes for its upcoming Christmas murder mystery musical feature film near Ogden, Utah. And yes, you can be part of it. Pretty please read the entire blog if you're interested in becoming an Extra.
We’re currently looking for volunteer background extras to portray audience members attending a Christmas musical inside a local community theatre.
ABOUT THE FILM: When the most hated member of the cast is in a mysterious accident, a raging storm traps the entire theatre group inside… and the killer may be hiding among them. 📍 Location: Washington Terrace, Utah (near Ogden) 🎬 Venue: Beverly’s Terrace Plaza Playhouse 📅 Date: May 30th⏰ Filming Block: 12-3pm
From late-night production meetings and prop building to long filming weekends and packed theatre rehearsals, this movie has truly been built by the community. Now, after years of work, we are officially over 85% finished filming.
For many independent films, getting this far is incredibly difficult. Reaching the finish line takes persistence and a whole lot of people willing to believe in something before it fully exists.

👨👩👧 Are Families & Kids Welcome?
Yes - families are welcome. However, because filming requires extended periods of sitting quietly:
We recommend children be at least 5 years old
A parent or legal guardian must remain with minors at all times
Minors may not participate without guardian approval and supervision
If your child loves theatre or movies, this can be a fun behind-the-scenes experience.
🎄 Wardrobe Guidelines
Please dress as if you’re attending a festive local theatre production. Think Casual, but a splash of Christmas doesn't hurt!
Think:
Cozy holiday sweaters
Festive scarves
Winter date-night outfits
Community theatre attire
Christmas colors and textures
Please avoid:
Large visible logos
Graphic-heavy clothing
Bright neon colors
Distracting patterns
We want the audience to feel warm, timeless, and cinematic on screen.
🎥 What It’s Like Being a Background Extra
In this scene, you’ll portray theatre guests enjoying a Christmas musical performance alongside other community members.
No acting experience is needed.
You’ll experience:
Cameras rolling between takes
Directors giving live adjustments
Actors performing scenes multiple times
The behind-the-scenes rhythm of filmmaking
A real independent film production environment
We simply ask that you:
Bring good energy
Follow direction well
Be respectful during filming
Remain quiet during active takes
Stay for the full filming block if possible
Film production can involve multiple resets and repeated takes, and background extras play an important role in helping scenes feel authentic and alive.
