It's That Time Of Year Again!

A Christmas Carol returns to the Ohio Theatre this Thanksgiving weekend.

The CAPA production of Charles Dickens's iconic holiday play returns to The Ohio Theatre this year! Directed by Short North Stage Artistic Director Edward Carignan, Victorian London comes to life as we follow the journey of miserly lender Ebeneezer Scrooge as he discovers the true meaning of happiness in the iconic story of redemption.

Ever since Charles Dickens first penned A Christmas Carol in 1843, it has seen myriad stage adaptations and the popularity of this tale of redemption and second chances has seemingly never waned. From stage to screen, opera to one-man shows, it is one of the most influential Christmas shows and a traditional holiday outing that defines the joy of the Yuletide period for most of us.

Bah! Humbug! What is A Christmas Carol About?

Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't see the point of letting his employees have a day off for Christmas, not even kind Bob Cratchit, whose son Tiny Tim is very sick. Eventually, he is convinced and retires to his room to pass Christmas Eve as he usually does, alone. But this Christmas is different. He has a visitor for a change, the wretched soul of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Doomed to wander the earth for eternity for his sins in life, Marley warns Scrooge of 3 impending visitations.

In a flurry of fear, he meets the gentle Ghost of Christmas Past, the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas to Come, all of whom want to teach him a lesson...
