The Goodman is seeking to fill youth performer roles for its Centennial Season production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Children and teens ages 5-17 of all races, ethnicities, national origins, religions, mental and physical abilities, orientations and genders are welcome to audition at a Youth Performer Open Call event on September 20 at The Goodman. Registration for audition times begins at 8:30am and ends at 10:30am sharp; participants will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis from 9am-2pm. Auditioning performers are asked to prepare a poem or monologue lasting one minute or less, one verse of a song—preferably a traditional holiday song or Christmas carol—to be performed acapella, along with a photo and resume or list of previous theatrical experience and training. No theater experience is required. Visit GoodmanTheatre.org or email Casting@GoodmanTheatre.org for more information. The 48th annual production of A Christmas Carol will be onstage in the 856-seat Albert Theatre November 15 – December 31 (tickets ($33-$172), directed for the first time by Malkia Stampley with Christopher Donahue returning as Ebenezer Scrooge after a “historical standout” performance in his 2024 debut (WGNRadio.com). For tickets, visit the Box Office (170 N. Dearborn), call 312.443.3800 or purchase online at GoodmanTheatre.Org/Carol. The Goodman is grateful for the support of PNC (Major Corporate Sponsor).
