The youngest of the troupe, earnest and eager to shine. As Tiny Tim she’s sweet and sincere, as Past she’s strangely spooky, and backstage she’s sharp and blunt beyond her years. Her quick switches in tone often create unplanned comedy.
The eager younger boy in the cast, always trying to prove himself. As Boy Scrooge, he’s endearingly awkward, and as Ignorance, he leans into spooky exaggeration. Backstage he’s excitable and easily distracted, often missing his cue because he’s watching the show instead of preparing for it.
