Auditions for Tiny Tim’s Christmas Carol by Ken and Jack Ludwig will be held at the Garfield Center for the Arts on Sunday, August 26th at 2PM, and Tuesday and Thursday, August 28th and 30th at 6PM. Directed by Bonnie Hill, the play runs two weekends from November 30th – December 9th.
In this magical version of Charles Dickens’ iconic Christmas story, Tiny Tim devises a plan to get his father home for Christmas day.
