A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Some stories get a little warmer every December. A Christmas Carol at the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis is built for that feeling. On December 11 at 7:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings Charles Dickens' ghostly holiday tale to the stage as a live production of story and song. Real people tell the tale in the room with you, and that makes it feel closer.

At the center is Scrooge, a man who has closed himself off, and the question of whether he can change. His redemption drives the evening, along with a simple, powerful idea: kindness matters. It's a story that can send you out into the cold thinking about who you've been generous to, who you've missed, and who might need a call. That's an emotional payoff a screen at home rarely delivers.

The Friday evening performance makes room for a full night at the theatre. This staging also has a clear creative identity. The local adaptation is by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh, and Indiana Repertory Theatre presents it as its own production. That gives the night a hometown theatre character rather than a generic holiday outing. It's also easy to turn into a shared tradition. Make December 11 the night your season gets its heart back. Reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis and give the holidays a story worth leaving home for.
