A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

The most dramatic change in A Christmas Carol isn't the season. It's the man at the center of it. On Saturday, November 28, at 2:00 PM, A Christmas Carol takes the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. That means the turning point of Scrooge's life happens in front of you, in the same room, in real time.

What makes this one worth the trip is the heart at its center. Charles Dickens wrote the story, and this staged adaptation follows a man's redemption and the value of kindness. Scrooge's change of heart is the emotional engine. You may think you know where it ends. Watching a person choose to treat others differently, live and up close, is a different experience from remembering the plot. Story and song carry the journey, as the presenter describes it.

There is also the pleasure of making it an outing. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents this as its own production, running November 14 through December 26, 2026. The local adaptation is by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh, so you're buying into a specific Indianapolis telling, not a generic holiday retread. A Saturday afternoon performance gives families, friends and couples a shared seasonal plan, plus something to talk about afterward: generosity, second chances and how we show up for people. Make the afternoon count, and secure your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis.
