INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Repertory Theatre is celebrating the holiday season with its annual tradition of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, presented by Oxford Financial. The cherished classic runs now through December 24 on the OneAmerica Financial Stage. Returning to direct for a second year is native Hoosier and IRT’s Associate Artistic Director cara hinh.
The IRT’s adaptation of Dickens’s novella was written by former IRT Artistic Director Tom Haas and produced at the IRT every year from 1980 through 1984. After a twelve-year hiatus, the play was brought back in 1996 and is now making its 34th appearance. The story shines a light on the power of kindness, love, forgiveness, and change as it follows one man’s journey to redemption.
