INDIANAPOLIS — For more than 150 years, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has been told across the world. It’s a story of reflection, community, legacy; a story that the Indiana Repertory Theatre will tell for the 28th year this holiday season.
With the continued tradition of A Christmas Carol and a focus on community, the IRT will again offer special programming surrounding the run of the show. New this year to the production schedule is a Sensory Friendly performance on Dec. 26, which is designed to create a welcoming experience for all, including those with autism or other sensory sensitivities. Other events include Holiday Hoopla and the IRT’s donation drive Scrooge Gives Back on November 16, planned in partnership with Indiana Blood Center, The Salvation Army and IndyHumane.
Returning to the stage is Ryan Artzberger as Ebenezer Scrooge, along with other long-time A Christmas Carol actors, Mark Goetzinger, Charles Goad, Milicent Wright, Rob Johansen and Jennifer Johansen. Joining them will be Ashley Dillard, Mehry Eslaminia, Aaron Kirby, Carlos Medina Maldonado, and IRT newcomers Stephenie Park and Reggie D. White.
Take part in this Indianapolis tradition, on IRT’s OneAmerica Mainstage Nov. 17 – Dec. 26. Tickets are now available online at irtlive.com or by calling 317-635-5252. The Indiana Repertory Theatre is located at 140 W Washington St.
