A woman and man stand next to a decorative cart: a man in a long, dark red dressing robe and white nightcap speaks to a woman in a green, gold and red gown draped with a white fur stole.

A Christmas Carol – 2026

date November 19, 2026 — December 31, 2026
2 hours including one intermission
Recommended for ages 5 and older

Join the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as they lead the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption. Originally conceived by Michael Baron, this music-infused production captures the magic and joy of Dickens’s Yuletide classic, with familiar characters, ghosts and a children’s ensemble in the spirit of the holidays. Acclaimed actor Craig Wallace returns to play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ford’s annual tradition heralded as a “rich visual and vocal treat” (TheaterMania) and “infectiously jolly” (The Washington Post).
