A Christmas Carol

by CHARLES DICKENS
adapted by LAVINA JADHWANI
directed by ADDIE GORLIN-HAN
based on the original direction by JOSEPH HAJ
Wurtele Thrust Stage

A cherished holiday tradition

Each Christmas, the miserly and miserable Ebenezer Scrooge greets the holiday with “Bah! Humbug!” and can’t be bothered to celebrate. One Christmas EveScrooge is visited by three spirits who show him happy memories from his past, difficult realities from the present and a grim future should he continue his closed-hearted ways. Throughout his journey, Scrooge is forced to reckon with the man he has become and contemplate the man he could be — but only if his restless night leads to a change of heart by morning. Filled with hope and festivitythe Guthrie’s cherished holiday tradition continues to bring joy to theatergoers of all ages 

Three things to know

  • Faithful to the Dickens tale, Lavina Jadhwani's adaptation carefully tracks the moments when Scrooge becomes a willing participant in his own transformation, from the nostalgia of seeing his boyhood school to the fear that Death will claim him before he can act on his change of heart.
  • In 2021, the Guthrie invested in a new physical production of this family favorite, including new scenic, costume, prop, lighting and sound designs. These details continue to be updated and amplified every year.
  • Budget-conscious? Attend a performance early in the run for greater savings. Tickets start at $35 (handling fees included) for preview performances (November 8–13). For detailed pricing, see below.
