A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

The ghosts make the journey possible, but generosity is what gives A Christmas Carol its lasting power. A Christmas Carol at the OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis is built for that feeling. On Friday, November 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM, Charles Dickens' holiday classic comes to the stage as live theatre, not a movie screening. You get real performers, a real room and a story that unfolds in front of you.

At its heart is a man who needs to change. Scrooge's turn from cold to open-hearted gives the evening its emotional pull, and Indiana Repertory Theatre describes the production as a story of redemption and the value of kindness. That message hits differently when you hear it with a full house around you. You may leave thinking about who in your life deserves a call, a visit or a little more generosity. That is the kind of night worth leaving the couch for.

This is also a distinctly local take. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents its own production, using an adaptation by Tom Haas and direction by cara hinh. It's told through story and song, which gives the season's best-known tale a fresh theatrical voice. The run plays November 14 through December 26, 2026, and this date lands the day after Thanksgiving, a natural moment to gather family or friends for something shared. Make a memory instead. Reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis and give your holiday season a story worth telling.
