A CHRISTMAS CAROL

  • By Charles Dickens
  • Adapted and originally directed by Blake Robison
  • Directed by Bridget Leak

November 20 – December 27, 2026


MOE AND JACK'S PLACE — THE ROUSE THEATRE

ABOUT THE SHOW

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.

“A showcase of local talent, a demonstration of the possibilities of the Playhouse’s new mainstage and a welcome addition that’s likely to become part of Cincinnati’s holiday tradition for years to come. No humbug – just joy to the world!” – Talkin’ Broadway

ADVISORY

A Christmas Carol  is suitable for general audiences, including children ages 5 and older. However, some younger children could find a couple of the ghostly appearances a little scary. Due to the full-length nature of the show, children younger than 5 cannot be admitted.

RUNNING TIME

This show runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, with a 20-minute intermission.
