Meet Your New Scrooge

Join us in welcoming Mark Mineart back to the A Christmas Carol family. Mineart is returning to the production as Ebenezer Scrooge, having played Mr. Fezziwig and the Ghost of Christmas Present in the Playhouse production from 1999-2003. He also appeared in the Playhouse productions of Much Ado About Nothing (1999) and Mr. Roberts (2004).

“While A Christmas Carol remains the same beloved production from year-to-year, sharp theatregoers will note that we always infuse it with something new every season,” said Blake Robison, Osborn Family Producing Artistic Director, who adapted the script and directed the original production. “Every new Scrooge brings his own flair to the role. We’re excited to welcome Mark back to the Christmas Carol family and introduce his Scrooge to our community.”

Mineart has worked as an actor, director, and fight director for over 30 years. He has appeared on and off Broadway with such stars as Denzel Washington and Kelsey Grammer and worked at many of the nation’s most well-respected and award-winning regional theatres. Mineart is currently an Associate Professor of Theatre Performance at Otterbein University.

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.
