Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only.

A miserly and miserable man, Ebenezer Scrooge greets each Christmas with “Bah! Humbug!” until he is visited one Christmas Eve by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. In Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, the three spirits show Scrooge happy memories from his past, difficult realities from the present and a grim future should he continue his closed-hearted ways. Throughout his journey, Scrooge is forced to reckon with the man he has become and contemplate the man he could be — but only if his restless night leads to a change of heart by morning. The Guthrie’s cherished tradition celebrates its 50th year and continues to delight audiences of all ages this holiday season.

Themes

  • This story highlights the potential for people to change, even after a lifetime of behaving the same way. However, Scrooge is moved to finally change through an extraordinary experience, with ghosts taking him on a journey through his life. Most of us aren’t going to experience something like this. What motivates you to change, even after a long time of acting the same way?​
