A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Some stories return every December because we need them. A Christmas Carol at the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis is one of them. On Sunday, November 29, at 2:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings Charles Dickens's tale to life as a live stage production, with story and song at its center. Real people share a room, and the old tale unfolds right in front of you.

Here is the heart of it: a man changes. Scrooge's journey toward redemption gives the afternoon its emotional pull, and the production's focus on kindness and generosity gives it a purpose beyond holiday decoration. You may arrive thinking you know the story. Watching it performed live is different. It asks a quiet question that fits the season: how will you treat the people around you? That question can stay with you long after you leave your seat.

There is also something special about seeing a version with a clear local identity. This staging is Indiana Repertory Theatre's own production, adapted by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh. A Sunday-afternoon matinee makes it an easy tradition to share with family, friends or anyone who wants a meaningful pause during a busy month. You sit together, take in the story, and carry the feeling home. If you want your holiday plans to include something with warmth, heart and a good reason to gather, secure your seats for this Indianapolis A Christmas Carol matinee.
