Show Dates: December 11-13 and 17-20 2026

A FREE audition class will be held October 17, 2026 at 11am. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the audition process and get comfortable with a cold read. No sign-up necessary for the class, just show up at the theater!

This is an all ages show with lots of opportunities for young kids, teens and young adults!

The audition will be a cold read, so nothing to prepare. If you are comfortable, you can also prepare a short monologue - original or borrowed! The prepared monologue is a great opportunity for teens to show off their acting chops.
Please fill out the audition form in advance and bring it with you to the theater. We will have some hard copies available if needed. We will also ask that only the actors auditioning enter the theater. Parents are asked to remain in their car or in the lobby.

If you are cast, you will be invited to the parent meeting on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 6pm

Remember! Casting is subjective and completely based on someone else’s opinion. Sometimes casting decisions are based on age, looks, height, or how you look next to other cast members. You will not get cast in every role you want and sometimes you won’t get cast at all. If you are not cast in this show, you should still celebrate the fact that you gave it your best shot.

Synopsis

A Christmas Carol with a modern-day twist, Humbug follows the story of Eleanor Scrooge, a ruthlessly ambitious Wall Street executive who has an aversion to Christmas and an insatiable appetite for power. Locked in her office on a snowy Christmas Eve, Eleanor is determined to finish a corporate-takeover proposal until three “advisors” provide her with an eye-opening new appreciation for the holidays and the spirit of Christmas. An upbeat and moving adaptation of Dickens’ holiday classic, Humbug is one for the ages. With a contemporary flair, it is a tale the whole family will enjoy!
