A Christmas Carol Play through December 28
December 28 All day
Playhouse in the Park
Starting at $35
See A Christmas Carol at Playhouse in the Park from November 21 through December 28.
The holiday story you love unfolds in spectacular fashion in Moe and Jack’s Place – The Rouse Theatre! In Charles Dickens’ classic tale, Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy curmudgeon who finds his heart changing when three spirits and the ghost of a long-lost friend show him the errors of his ways.
Across one fateful Christmas Eve night, Scrooge recalls the warmth and generosity of past loved ones, learns the value of kindness through Tiny Tim and the Cratchit family, and glimpses a terrifying future should his heart remain the same. Featuring dazzling set, costume, and lighting designs, A Christmas Carol promises a magical holiday experience for your family.
Advisory: A Christmas Carol is suitable for general audiences, including children ages 5 and older. However, some younger children could find some ghostly appearances a little scary. Due to the full-length nature of the show, children younger than five cannot be admitted.
