Look Again
A ghost story. A Christmas story. A story about seeing people differently and discovering that it’s never too late to change.
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is one of the most familiar stories ever told, but beneath the Christmas cheer is something darker, stranger, and deeply human.
Our production leans into the ghost story at the heart of Dickens’ tale – the shadows, memories, spirits, and supernatural forces that haunt Ebenezer Scrooge. It also embraces the heart of the story: what happens when we finally stop looking past the people around us and truly see them.
Because the people Dickens places at the edges of society – those who are poor, forgotten, dismissed, or overlooked – are not background characters. They are human beings with hopes, fears, families, and needs. And Scrooge’s transformation begins when he recognizes their humanity.
This A Christmas Carol is part of Albuquerque Little Theatre’s “Step into Your Story” season, exploring identity and the possibility of change. Scrooge believes he knows exactly who he is. The ghosts force him to look again.
And perhaps that is the question at the heart of the story: Who are we becoming and is it too late to become someone different?
Music
This is not a musical, but music is an important and recurring part of the production.
Songs and singing help establish mood, atmosphere, memory, celebration, and the passage of time. Carolers are heard on the streets. Fred and his guests celebrate Christmas through song. Fezziwig and his party dance together. Scrooge’s memories are intertwined with music. And Tiny Tim is called upon to sing.
Music becomes another way this world comes alive and another way the characters connect with one another.
Because music is woven throughout the play, everyone auditioning for the production will be asked to sing at their audition. This does not mean everyone needs to be a trained singer. We want to understand how each actor might best be used within the production, whether as a soloist, part of a small group, or within the larger ensemble.
Come prepared to act. Come prepared to sing. Most of all, come ready to tell a story.
Youth Auditions
Youth actors ages 8-15 may audition during one of the following group sessions:
Saturday, October 3: 10:00-10:25 AM; 10:30-10:55 AM
Sunday, October 4: 5:30-5:55 PM
Youth Auditions will be conducted in groups of approximately ten actors.
Youth Actors will be taught a verse of “In the Bleak Midwinter” as a group and will then sing it individually. Each actor will also participate in a short reading/acting exercise.
No preparation is necessary. Audition sides will be sent in advance, and scripts and music will be provided at the audition.
Adult Auditions
Auditions for actors 16+ will be held by individual 7-minute appointments:
Saturday, October 3: 11:00 AM-3:00 PM
Sunday, October 4: 6:00-9:00 PM
Please prepare up to one minute of a Christmas carol of your choice. A piano accompanist will be provided. You will also read from the script. Audition pages that may be used throughout the casting process will be sent in advance, but scripts will be provided at the audition.
*
Auditions will be held at Albuquerque Little Theatre, 224 San Pasquale Ave SW.
You do not need to be a professional singer. We are interested in hearing how you use your voice and how you might contribute to the musical world of the production.
Bring your voice. Bring your imagination. And come ready to step into the story.
The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

Callbacks: October 20

Evita
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber • Lyrics by Tim Rice
She was adored. She was controversial. She was unforgettable.
Evita traces the meteoric rise of Eva Perón – from poverty to power – as she reshapes a nation and leaves behind a legacy that still sparks debate.
With a sweeping, iconic score, including “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” Evita is a story of ambition, identity, and the complicated cost of being seen.
Auditions dates coming soon.
Roles available for adults 18+
Director: ALT Artistic Director Brandon Thomsen
