The resume and photo must be submitted again even if they have been sent in the past, and the resume must indicate exact birth date and height. At the audition, children will be asked to share a one-minute monologue, story or poem. Interested children must be available for all rehearsals, most of which are scheduled around school hours. Rehearsals for A Christmas Carol begin in mid-November.

Adapted by Howard Dallin, A Christmas Carol is a faithful retelling of Charles Dickens’ tale of a miserly sinner given one last chance at redemption by four persuasive spirits. A Christmas Carol’s heartwarming message, along with hundreds of costume changes and thrilling special effects, make the show one of the Playhouse’s most popular productions year after year. Delta Connection Comair is the Playhouse’s official airline. The Playhouse is supported, in part, by the generosity of the tens of thousands of individuals and businesses that give to the Fine Arts Fund. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund the Playhouse with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. The Playhouse also receives funding from the City of Cincinnati. ###
