A Christmas Carol, by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Howard Dallin

The Playhouse’s version of A Christmas Carol combines faithful storytelling with spellbinding stage magic to bring to life its familiar story of a sinner given one last chance at redemption by four persuasive ghosts. Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a miraculous Christmas Eve transformation as he views with new eyes his past, present and the possibilities of the future. As he witnesses all those who have improved his life — his first love Belle, his kindhearted… Show more employer Fezziwig, his nephew Fred and his heartily abused clerk Bob Cratchit — he realizes that it’s never too late to change his miserly ways. A Christmas Carol’s heartwarming message, along with hundreds of costumes and thrilling special effects, helps to make the show one of the Playhouse’s most popular productions each year.

A Christmas Carol is suitable for general audiences, including children age 5 and older. Due to the full-length nature of the show, children younger than 5 cannot be admitted. For more information, please see the Content Advisory.
