A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

What could make a famously cold-hearted man rethink an entire lifetime? Dickens built a Christmas classic around that question. On December 16 at 7:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings A Christmas Carol to the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis, and the question at its center feels bigger every December: can a person change how they treat the world around them? Charles Dickens gave us Scrooge. Here, he walks onto a real stage, in the same room as you, where his story has nowhere to hide.

This is Indiana Repertory Theatre's own production, running November 14 through December 26, 2026. The adaptation is by Tom Haas, directed by cara hinh. You aren't settling for a generic holiday outing. You're stepping into a specific local theatre tradition with named artists shaping the telling. The presenter describes a production built on story and song, centered on one man's redemption and the value of kindness. It's live theatre, not a movie screening, and that difference is the whole point. A story told by people sharing a room with you lands differently.

Think about who you'd bring. A parent, a sibling, a friend who always says the season sneaks up on them. You'll talk about Scrooge's turn on the walk out. You may find yourselves thinking about generosity a little longer than usual. Make the evening of December 16 your seasonal ritual, and secure your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis while you plan the night.
