A holiday classic, reimagined
Encore Performing Arts invites Young Artists of all ages to audition for A Christmas Carol: A New Musical, featuring Corbin Allred as Ebenezer Scrooge. Step into Dickens' beloved story of redemption and bring the ghosts, the streets of London, and one unforgettable Christmas Eve to life on stage.
This is a Show with a Pro: Young Artists rehearse and perform alongside a professional lead, learning what it takes to carry a full holiday production. Whether you're a seasoned performer or stepping into the spotlight for the first time, it's a chance to grow your craft and be part of a new musical that becomes a St. George holiday tradition.

About the younger roles
We want to be straight with families. There are roughly six roles written for younger performers, and we expect many more Young Artists to audition than there are places. Auditioning is not a guarantee of casting, and not being cast is never a reflection of your Young Artist’s ability or their future with Encore.
Questions before you register? Get in touch and we will talk it through.
Who you'll work with
An experienced creative team guides every Young Artist, alongside professional actors Corbin Allred as Ebenezer Scrooge and Adam Cheney as Jacob Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Present.
Rehearsals & performances
Cast members commit to the rehearsal schedule and the full run of shows.
You can audition for both, but you can only be cast in one
A Christmas Carol rehearses October 3 to November 28, Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturdays. Peter Pan Jr. rehearses across the same weeks, ahead of its November performances. There is no version of the schedule where a Young Artist can do both.
You are welcome to audition for both and see where you are cast. Just know that if you are offered a place in each, you will need to choose. If you already know which you would pick, tell us at your audition and it helps us cast well.
Rehearsals
Saturday 9am–1pm
Performances
Tickets $15 to $25. Full performance calendar posted soon.
