A Christmas Carol



26 Years of Spirited Tradition


Last season we premiered a stunning all-new 25th anniversary production. Don’t miss what the Calgary Herald called “stunningly theatrical,” and the Calgary Sun described as “captivating and astonishing” and the “best Scrooge yet.”  Filled with magic, songs and delightful surprises, this production sold out quickly last year, so get your tickets early and share this cherished tradition with your entire family.


Thank you to our loyal audiences for embracing the newest version of our cornerstone production. We look forward to celebrating and fine tuning the largest production we've ever created. Gorgeous singing, wondrous skating, and the ever-inspiring Ebenezer Scrooge fill our theatre once again this holiday season. – Dennis

A letter from a young audience member:

"My name is Sage and I attended A Christmas Carol on November 28, 2012 with my school, along with students from Berry Creek.  I live on a ranch and go to school in Youngstown, Alberta.  My school is a small school.  I am the only student in grade nine.  When my school has the chance to go to productions like this, we are all very excited.  I found out about Theatre Calgary from my Language Arts teacher.  I am very glad that we had the chance to attend A Christmas Carol.

I thought the production was fantastic!  I really liked that we were all asked to dress up.  The sets were beautiful and it felt like I was watching a movie.  my favourite scene was when the ghosts were tricking the lady.  I thought that was pretty awesome.  I was really impressed with the Ghost of Christmas Future.  He was so tall! I also liked the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Thank-you for putting on A Christmas Carol, you have made me love live theatre! I plan on coming back to see another production."
