An Extraordinary Holiday Experience: A Christmas Carol at the IRT

Warm your heart with story, song, and the power of redemption. ✨

There’s something magical about stepping into the Indiana Repertory Theatre during the holidays. The twinkling lights, the buzz of excitement, and the rich aroma of mulled spices in the lobby instantly set the tone for an extraordinary evening. We recently had the chance to watch A Christmas Carol—and let us tell you, it was nothing short of enchanting.

From the moment the curtains rose, we were transported into Charles Dickens’ timeless world. The stunning set design brought Victorian London to life, from the cold, cobblestone streets to the warm glow of holiday gatherings. The cast, led by an outstanding portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge, delivered performances so heartfelt and captivating that we couldn’t help but feel completely immersed in the story.

What makes this adaptation, by Tom Haas, so special is its ability to balance tradition with fresh energy. The storytelling felt intimate and personal, while the songs and musical elements added an uplifting charm to the production. We laughed, teared up, and left the theatre with our hearts warmed by the message of kindness, compassion, and second chances.

Beyond the performance, the sense of community was undeniable. Sitting in the audience, surrounded by families, couples, and friends, we were reminded of how important it is to support local arts and cultural traditions in Indianapolis. A Christmas Carol isn’t just a show; it’s a shared experience that brings people together and reminds us all of what truly matters during the holiday season.

If you’re looking for something special to do this December, we can’t recommend A Christmas Carol enough. It’s the perfect way to escape the holiday rush, soak in some festive spirit, and create lasting memories with loved ones.

The show runs through December 24 on the OneAmerica Mainstage at the Indiana Repertory Theatre. Make a night of it—enjoy dinner downtown, grab your tickets, and settle in for an evening of unforgettable storytelling.

Let’s continue to support the incredible arts scene here in Indy. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this holiday tradition!

🎟️ Visit the IRT website for tickets and share your experience with us—we’d love to hear what you think!

“The perfect way to celebrate the season in Indy!”
