Additionally, the part of Tiny Tim requires a boy 6 to 8 years of age.

At the audition, children will be asked to share a one-minute monologue, story or poem and to demonstrate a British accent.
Interested children must be available for all rehearsals of these productions, most of which are scheduled around school hours.
