THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES PRODUCTION! Tiny Tim longs to have his father home on Christmas day, but Ebenezer Scrooge won’t give Bob Crachit the day off. There must be a way to change Scrooge’s mind – and perhaps a ghost or two will set Scrooge right. Right? Can this clever boy and his best friend Charlotte save Christmas and change the heart of the meanest man in town? This exciting world premiere story of a father and son was written by Broadway’s award-winning Ken Ludwig and his son, Jack. Get ready for the wildest Christmas ride you've ever had!
We are looking for performers of races, ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, body types, and abilities. Production is non-Equity.
