Join us for this celebrated holiday tradition! The Stadium Theatre Conservatory proudly presents A Christmas Carol, featuring the Stadium Theatre's original adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic, adapted by Brian Wolfe-Leonard and Amanda Menard.

On a cold Christmas Eve, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Bound by the consequences of his past actions, Marley warns Scrooge that three spirits will soon arrive to guide him on a journey through time. Through encounters with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, Scrooge confronts the choices that have shaped his life, the impact he has had on those around him, and the fate that awaits him if he refuses to change. Filled with heart, hope, and the enduring spirit of the season, this timeless tale reminds us all of the power of compassion, redemption, and Christmas joy.
