Audiences journey alongside the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Featuring nineteenth-century London period costumes, enchanting puppetry, inventive staging, and live traditional carols, this Tony Award-winning regional theatre production captures Dickens's original wit and enduring message of compassion and generosity. Children must be at least six years old to attend. ## Similar picks in Houston - [A Christmas Carol — Alley Theatre 2026](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/a-christmas-carol-alley-theatre-2026--listing-01ad70b94d8a515f962254ba) — Nov 15 – Dec 27 · Alley Theatre (Meredith J.
