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 18 at 7:00 PM, A Christmas Carol takes the OneAmerica Mainstage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. It isn't a movie screening or a concert. It's a live stage production, and it's built for a night out when the season calls for something more than another quiet evening at home.

The heart of it is Scrooge. Charles Dickens gave us the story of a man whose life changes, and this staging follows that turn through story and song. Redemption is the point. So is kindness, and what it means to treat the people around you differently. Those ideas land harder when actors share the air with you and the whole audience reacts at once. You may find yourself thinking about your own year, your own people, and the generosity you'd like to carry forward.

This is also a local tradition with a clear creative stamp. Indiana Repertory Theatre presents its own production, in an adaptation by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh. That makes it feel specific to Indianapolis, not a generic holiday stop. It runs November 14 through December 26, 2026, and the December 18 evening performance gives you a place to build a seasonal outing around. Make this the night you actually go. Reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis and share a holiday story that still asks us to be better.
