A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at Mimi Ohio Theatre At Playhouse Square

The season arrives faster when Scrooge walks onto the stage. Great Lakes Theater presents A Christmas Carol at Mimi Ohio Theatre on Saturday, December 19, and Playhouse Square calls it one of Northeast Ohio's favorite holiday traditions.

With a running time of 1 hour and 45 minutes including intermission, it is a compact evening. There is still plenty of room for anticipation, reflection and the unmistakable feeling when the lights come back up. Great Lakes Theater keeps the focus on what makes Dickens endure: the chance to feel the season arrive through a story of redemption. It is a classic that has earned its place in the city's holiday rhythm. Scrooge's hard edges, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, and the slow turn toward grace are all built for an audience watching together. A story about regret, memory and change lands with more force when it happens in the room with you.

The intimate Mimi Ohio Theatre gives the night a warm, close-up feel in the heart of Playhouse Square. A Saturday date makes this an easy weekend plan. It lands in the final stretch of the run. Two performances are scheduled for this date, so you can pick the one that suits your day. Bring family, bring a friend, or bring the person who needs a reminder about what the season is for.
