A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Some stories come back every December because we need them. A Christmas Carol is one of them, and on December 4, 2026, at 7:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings it to the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis. This is a live stage production, not a movie night.

At its heart is a man who has closed himself off, and the question of whether he can change. Charles Dickens wrote the tale, and the IRT's staging follows Scrooge's path toward redemption and a new understanding of kindness. That arc is why the story lasts. You may know where it goes. Watching it happen on stage is another thing entirely. It gives you a quiet moment to think about how you treat the people around you, right when the season has you thinking about them anyway.

This production has a clear identity. Tom Haas created the local adaptation, and cara hinh directs. The presenter describes the show as theatre built on story and song, which makes it a warm and communal way to mark the holidays. Bring family, a friend, or the person you always end up making plans with this time of year. Sit together, share the experience, and talk about it on the way out. If you want a December evening that feels meaningful rather than rushed, reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol at Indiana Repertory Theatre and give your holiday season a story worth remembering.
