A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at Mimi Ohio Theatre At Playhouse Square

Scrooge is back in town, and the holidays have not started until he learns his lesson. A Christmas Carol returns to Mimi Ohio Theatre on Saturday, December 12 as a Great Lakes Theater production and one of the region's favorite holiday stage events.

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. 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. The best part of a holiday classic is hearing a full house react to the moments it knows are coming. Gasps, laughter and a few quiet tears all happen together.

Mimi Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square keeps you close to the stage in a historic downtown Cleveland setting. Saturday night is a natural time for a big night out. It sits in the middle of the run. Two performances are scheduled for this date, so you can pick the one that suits your day. Make it the night the holidays finally start.
