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 22 at 7:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings A Christmas Carol to the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis, and it's the kind of evening that pulls you out of the holiday rush and into a living, breathing story.

At the center is Scrooge, a man whose change of heart gives the night its pulse. This is a staged production told through story and song, not a movie screening. You get the human drama in front of you, built around redemption and the value of kindness. Watching someone choose to treat people differently carries a special weight when it happens live, a few rows away, with a full room feeling it alongside you. It's a story many of us know, yet theatre has a way of making it land fresh.

There's also something special about the production itself. This is IRT's own stage production, using a local adaptation by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh. That gives the evening a specific creative identity rather than a generic holiday retelling. Bring family, a friend or a partner, and give the season a shared memory worth keeping. Conversations after the curtain tend to be the best part. Your December 22 night at Indiana Repertory Theatre is waiting, so reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis and make kindness part of your holiday plans.
