ADAPTED BY TOM CREAMER
DIRECTED BY MALKIA STAMPLEY

Nov 15 – Dec 31, 2025 in Goodman's Albert Theatre
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
Rediscover a Dickens’ classic with an adaptation that “makes you believe kindness can win” (Chicago Tribune). Follow Ebenezer Scrooge, a businessman whose disdain for the holidays is transformed on Christmas Eve. Malkia Stampley takes the reins as director, with Christopher Donahue returning as Scrooge after a “historical standout” performance in his 2024 debut (WGNRadio.com). Featuring a “first-rate cast and marvelous staging” (Chicago Sun-Times), this tale remains “the best Christmas story ever told” (Time Out Chicago).
