Indy’s holiday tradition returns

Now more than ever, we need to gather together to celebrate the joy of the season. A Christmas Carol shines a light on the power of kindness and love in this uplifting tale of one man’s journey to redemption. As the weather turns cold, warm your heart with the IRT as we joyfully reimagine and tenderly bring this annual holiday treasure to new life.

Artistic Note:
“A Christmas Carol at the IRT is as reliable and mysterious as sunrise.  Over many years it has become a community tradition that stands on the shoulders of all its previous incarnations.  Each year we lovingly make a new version that celebrates Mr. Dickens’ story of redemption and, like all art that endures over time, our relationship to A Christmas Carol continues to evolve as the story finds new meaning.  The IRT production is a celebration between actors and audience that ultimately restores a sense of awe and gratitude, not only in the iconic character of Scrooge, but hopefully for all of us in the audience as well! – James Still, IRT’s Playwright-in-Residence and Director of A Christmas Carol
