A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

A familiar tale can still catch you off guard when its biggest question is aimed at your own life: who deserves more kindness? On Sunday, December 20, at 2:00 PM, Indiana Repertory Theatre brings A Christmas Carol to the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis, and the afternoon starts with a question worth asking every December: who do you want to be when the year ends? It's built for people who want the season to feel like more than a to-do list.

At the center is Scrooge, and the pull of his change of heart is why this tale lasts. Watching a man's redemption unfold in front of you is different from remembering it. The production uses story and song to explore kindness and generosity, and it asks quietly how we treat the people around us. That lands harder in a room full of neighbors than it ever could on your couch. You may laugh at the right moments. You may feel your throat tighten at others. Either way, you'll walk out lighter.

This is also a smart way to gather your people. The adaptation is by Tom Haas and directed by cara hinh, so you're not settling for a vague holiday outing. You're choosing a specific local theatre production, presented by Indiana Repertory Theatre as part of its November 14 through December 26, 2026 run. Reserve your seats for A Christmas Carol in Indianapolis and make the holiday plan that actually means something.
