A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

It's easy to know how Scrooge's story ends. It's something else to watch his defenses fall in a theater. On December 21 at 7:00 PM, A Christmas Carol takes the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. Charles Dickens gave us the tale, and Indiana Repertory Theatre brings it to life with story and song. For one December evening, you can trade the glow of a phone for the glow of a stage.

Here is the heart of it: one man, a hard life, and the chance to change. The presenter describes the production as centered on Scrooge's redemption and the value of kindness. That is a powerful thing to watch in a room full of other people. You may find yourself thinking about who you've been too busy for, who deserves a warmer word, and what generosity could look like in your own life. Few holiday outings leave you with something so personal to carry home.

This is also a local adaptation, written by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh. It is a smart pick for family, friends, or anyone who wants a seasonal tradition with real feeling behind it. The run continues November 14 through December 26, 2026, but this date puts you in the audience on December 21, close enough to the holiday to feel its pull. Plan the night, save the seats, and let a classic redemption story do what it does best. Secure your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis here.
