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. On December 12 at 7:00 PM, A Christmas Carol takes the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis, and the oldest question of the season walks back into the room: what would change if you treated people a little better? Charles Dickens wrote the tale.

The heart of it is Scrooge's change of heart, a redemption arc that still lands because it asks something of us, too. Kindness. Generosity. A second look at the people we pass every day. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents its own production of the story told through story and song, and it's one of the rare nights out where the message and the mood point the same direction. You may walk in humming along with the holiday spirit. You'll walk out thinking about who you want to call.

There's also the pull of seeing it done here. This local adaptation is by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh, a specific vision of a familiar classic, staged by the company in its own Indianapolis home from November 14 through December 26, 2026. Bring family, a friend, or the person who always says they'd love to do something festive and meaningful. Shared seasonal outings become the memories people mention years later. Pick your night, settle into your seat, and reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis.
