A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre

Some stories return every December because they ask us to be a little better. On December 18, 2026, at 1:00 PM, Indianapolis audiences can find Charles Dickens's holiday tale at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre, performed the way it was meant to be felt: live, on a stage, with real people telling it in front of you. This is a staged adaptation, not a movie screening.

At the center is Scrooge, and the emotional pull of the whole evening is his change of heart. Redemption. Generosity. The quiet but powerful value of kindness. The presenter describes the production as theatre told through story and song, a pairing that suits a tale about hearts opening up. For a specific creative vision, look to Indiana Repertory Theatre's own staging, running November 14 through December 26. It uses a local adaptation by Tom Haas and is directed by cara hinh, so this is a particular telling, not just a familiar title on a calendar.

Best of all, this is an outing you can share. Bring family, friends or anyone who could use a reminder that people can change and kindness matters. You will not just watch a classic. You will sit in the same room with others as it unfolds, and carry the feeling home together. If a seasonal afternoon in Indianapolis sounds like your kind of tradition, claim your seats for A Christmas Carol here.
