Drury Lane Theatre's Theatre for Young Audiences series presents a one-hour staging of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol from November 27 through December 26, 2026, at the theater in Oakbrook Terrace. The story is the familiar one: Ebenezer Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by spirits who try to change his miserly ways, set in Victorian London. This version is cut to an hour for young attention spans and adds falling snow and magical illusions on stage, which makes it a gentle first theater outing for preschool and elementary-age children while still working for older siblings and grandparents. Directed by Matthew D. Carney with music direction by Carolyn Brady. Tickets are sold through the Drury Lane box office ((630) 530-0111) and website; performance times are listed in the ticketing calendar.
