Trinity Repertory Company presents A Christmas Carol

NOV. 5 – DEC. 31: Trinity Rep’ s A Christmas Carol has delighted families across Rhode Island for half a century! Reimagined anew each year, celebrate the holiday tradition’ s fiftieth anniversary with 2026’ s production, directed by Trinity Rep resident company member Taavon Gamble. When the clock strikes midnight on a fateful Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge gets an unexpected visit from the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley. In a world shaped by music, memory and possibility, Scrooge is swept into a supernatural journey through past, present and future. Along the way, he must confront what he has built, what he has lost and what he still has: the power to change for the good of his community, and his very soul. This joyous new production brings the iconic tale of redemption to life with Victorian charm, exhilarating music and dance, and unexpected moments of wonder. It’ s a holiday event for the whole family— and one best experienced together. A Christmas Carol is always a hot ticket, so grab your tickets before they sell out. Come celebrate fifty years of a New England holiday tradition, and discover the possibility of a little more joy, generosity and connection along the way. Visit website for dates and times.
