A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Scrooge starts this story with a closed heart. The reason generations return is what happens when it finally opens. On December 20 at 6:00 PM, the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis brings Charles Dickens's holiday tale to life as a stage production, not a movie screening. Real performers. A real audience. One story that still knows exactly where to find your heart.

At the center is a man who has closed himself off, and the change that reaches him. Scrooge's redemption drives the evening, and the presenter describes a production built on story and song, with kindness at its core. That matters in December, when the calendar fills up and the days blur. This is a chance to stop, sit beside people you care about, and be reminded that generosity can change how we treat one another. Few seasonal outings offer that much feeling in one sitting.

There is also a local flavor here. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents its own production, running November 14 through December 26, 2026, in an adaptation by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh. That is a specific creative vision, made for Indianapolis audiences. If you want a holiday plan that feels more meaningful than another trip to the mall, this is it. Then secure your seats for A Christmas Carol at Indiana Repertory Theater and make this year's holiday story one you experience together.
