Cast Breakdown:

Our cast is broken up into four main categories:

Schoolhouse Kids 

Schoolhouse Kids range from ages 6–11 and appear in several scenes throughout the production, but mainly the schoolhouse scene in Act 1. Schoolhouse Kids will learn an intermediate dance, will need to sing along, and be expressive and vibrant.

Dancing Townspeople 

The Dancing Townspeople, ages 14–55+, appear throughout the show in several scenes, highlighted in three main dance numbers. This group brings energy and fun to the stage, and the rehearsal process builds a strong sense of connection and community. We’re looking for expressive, high-energy individuals with a good sense of rhythm who are willing to learn choreography—no formal dance training required.

Lead Roles 

Lead roles range from ages 6–60+ and require both singing and acting abilities. They will work alongside our Director, Acting Coaches, and Music Director to help bring to life the character they are cast as. At auditions, you do not need to know which role you would like to audition for. Roles that require singing are marked with an asterisk. These roles include:

• • Bob Cratchit* and Sarah Cratchit*
  • Tiny Tim* (6–10)
  • Cratchit Family* (four children)

  • After our introduction, we will dismiss everyone to the lobby, and will call people in for their audition. You do not need to know what role you would like to audition for in order to audition for Scrooge. If you have not seen the show, that is completely acceptable and you will not be at a disadvantage. Below we have audition scripts and songs for you to prepare for your audition. There are multiple scripts and songs available for you to prepare. Please pick one script and one song to sing. We will not be providing audition material for all roles, but will use the content below to cast every role in Scrooge. You may be asked to read lines for a part you did not prepare for. This is called a cold read. We are not looking for perfection, but looking to see how you sound and bring certain lines to life.
  • You may be asked to attend a callback. If you are auditioning for a Lead Role thank you for your flexibility, our team will be in touch to schedule a callback date.
