Madison Square Garden will hold auditions for various children's roles (including Tiny Tim) on Sept. 28 for their upcoming production of A Christmas Carol, starring Tony Roberts as Scrooge.

All aspiring young actors (ages 7-10) must prepare a Christmas song of their choice, as well as commit to the rehearsal and show dates of Nov. 10-Dec. 30. Registration begins at 3 PM at the Theatre Terrace of Madison Square Garden Lobby (enter on 7th Ave & 33rd Street), with auditions beginning at 3:30 PM.

The holiday classic opens at The Theater at Madison Square Garden Nov. 26 and runs through Dec. 30.

Known for his extensive work in many of Woody Allen's films, Roberts has starred on Broadway as Toddy in Victor/Victoria and in the Broadway musicals Promises, Promises and Sugar.
