A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Some stories show up every December because we need them. A Christmas Carol at the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis is that kind of night: a Sunday evening, December 6, at 6:00 PM, when the hustle of the season gives way to a stage, a story and a room full of people leaning in together.

At the center is Scrooge, a man whose change of heart gives Charles Dickens' tale its emotional pull. Indiana Repertory Theatre describes this production as a telling through story and song, built around redemption and the value of kindness. That is a gentle reminder in a month that often feels rushed. Who do we make time for? How do we treat the people around us? Watching those questions play out live, in the same space as the performers, lands differently than reading them or watching a screen.

There is also something special about seeing a version made for this stage. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents its own production, with a local adaptation by Tom Haas, directed by cara hinh. It runs November 14 through December 26, 2026, so this Dec. 6 evening can become your family's holiday outing, a date night, or a tradition you finally start. Talk about it afterward. Let a classic story about generosity set the tone for the weeks ahead. Ready to claim your place at the theatre?
