A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

What could make a famously cold-hearted man rethink an entire lifetime? Dickens built a Christmas classic around that question. On December 12 at 2:00 PM, A Christmas Carol brings that experience to the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. You watch the story unfold in front of you, close enough to feel its pull.

At the center is Scrooge's change of heart, one of the most recognizable arcs in Charles Dickens's holiday tale. Indiana Repertory Theatre describes its production as a story told with song, built around a man's redemption and the value of kindness. That gives the afternoon real emotional weight. You can laugh at the season's rush, then catch yourself thinking about who you've been too busy to call, thank or forgive. A story like this lingers after the lights come up.

It also has a clear sense of place. Indiana Repertory Theatre is presenting its own stage production, with a local adaptation by Tom Haas and direction by cara hinh. The run stretches from November 14 through December 26, 2026, and this Saturday matinee gives you a daytime option for a seasonal outing. Bring family, friends or someone you want to spend the holiday season with. Sit together, share the same moments and leave with something to talk about on the way out. If you want your December to include a story about generosity, second chances and being better to one another, reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis.
