Arkadelphia Little Theatre is proud to announce open auditions for our newest production Auntie Scrooge, a live radio play, on Monday, Oct., 20, 2025 at 7 p.m. Auditions will be located at the Arkadelphia Arts Center, 625 Main St., and open to anyone 14 years or older. The audition will be a cold reading, so there is no need to prepare anything. Performance dates will be Nov. 20 and Nov. 23.
Set in modern times, the play is a comical Christmas Carol in reverse. It tells the tale of Auntie Scrooge, a kindly, old great-great-great-great-grand-niece of the reformed Ebenezer Scrooge. Auntie runs an ice cream company in Connecticut — full of singing cows and traditional goodies — but she runs afoul of conniving heirs who seek to push her out and replace egg nog and kindness with commercialism and profits.
In the Scrooge family tradition, Auntie is visited by Marley’s ghost — but not the Jacob Marley you’d expect — as well as three Spirits, who try to wring the niceness out of her. Thoroughly dis-spirited, Auntie attends the company Christmas party and through an unforeseen accident, hijinks ensue and the fate of the company may just become the newest Christmas miracle.
Arkadelphia Little Theatre hopes to see you at auditions and welcomes the community to join in the joys of theater. More information on performance times and location will be released at a later date.
