Are you one of our Tiny Tims?
We’re looking for children to play Tiny Tim for the
2024 Melbourne presentation of
the Old Vic’s production of A Christmas Carol.
REQUIREMENTS
The role of Tiny Tim in this production is played by a child (aged 7+ and under 137cm) with disability.
The show requires four (4) children (any gender) to share the role of Tiny Tim – children without disability will not be considered. Children must be 7 years or above, and under 4’6″ (137 cms) in height.
Children must be available for the rehearsals and performances from 21 October 2024 – 5 January 2025. The schedule rotates, with each child being present in the theatre for 4 shows a week.
Children must be based in Melbourne (or within 110 kms from The Comedy Theatre, Melbourne) and families are responsible for transportation children safely to and from the theatre.
The employment of children in the production will be in accordance with the provisions of the Child Employment Victoria and the obligations of the MEAA Performers’ Collective Agreement.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The character of Tiny Tim is nine years old and has the extraordinary power to melt Scrooge’s (and the audience’s) heart. There are no singing requirements for Tiny Tim, but the role does require verbal scene and script work.
