A Christmas Carol
A new musical adaptation of Dickens' timeless story, featuring Corbin Allred as Ebenezer Scrooge. Audition to sing, dance, and act alongside a professional lead in Encore's holiday production.
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.
From audition to opening night
Here's the path from your first audition through the final curtain of the run.
How to audition
Everything you need to prepare.
Dance call & callbacks
September 29, 2026 · 6–9pm
Electric Theater. Callbacks are by invitation only.
Younger roles
A small number of roles for our youngest performers are cast through a separate audition: Tiny Tim, Small Caroler, Little Fan, Ghost of Christmas Past, and a few Ensemble places.
Dates and sign-up are coming soon. These roles are not part of the September 28 and 29 calls.
About the younger roles
We want to be straight with families. There are only a handful of these roles in the show, 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.
These roles will be auditioned and called back separately from the main company, on their own dates with their own sign-up. We will post those details here as soon as they are set, so please check back rather than signing up for the September calls.
Questions in the meantime? Get in touch and we will talk it through.
Who you'll work with
An experienced creative team guides every Young Artist, alongside professional actor Corbin Allred in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge.
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 and Peter Pan Jr. rehearse over the same weeks. Both run October 5 to November 21, Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturdays. 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 $22 / $18 / $15 / $10. Full performance calendar posted soon.
