"Christmas Carol" Show Child Audition for the Theater

Audition for "Christmas Carol" Show. Children will need to be ages 8 – 12 for the full run of the show. About the project: A Christmas Carol, adapted from the novella by Charles Dickens, original music by Richard Cumming, directed and adapted by Stephen Thorne. Everyone’s favorite curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, is back. He is a wrenching, covetous, mean old man, caring more for money than the good of his family or neighbors. When the clock strikes midnight one fateful Christmas Eve, the ghost of Scrooge’s old pal Marley pays a much overdue visit. Through a supernatural journey, Scrooge must confront his past, acknowledge his present, and define his future for the good of his community, and his very soul. A timeless holiday tale of redemption and joy, Trinity Rep’s reimagined production of A Christmas Carol has been a beloved New England family tradition for more than 45 years!
