Theatre Calgary presents: A Christmas Carol

On Christmas Eve, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three spirits, who take him on a journey into his past, present, and future to show him the errors of his ways – and offering him a chance to make things right. Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale A Christmas Carol comes alive on the Theatre Calgary stage at the Max Bell Theatre, with stunning sets and costumes, from Friday, November 29 to Sunday, December 29, 2024. Adapted for the stage by Geoffrey Simon Brown and directed by Stafford Arima, this production stars Doug McKeag, returning as Scrooge.

”See why A Christmas Carol has become a holiday tradition for so many Calgarians.”
