## About

A cherished Twin Cities tradition for over 50 years, Charles Dickens' timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge comes alive on the Wurtele Thrust Stage at the iconic Guthrie Theater along the Minneapolis riverfront. This heartwarming production features stunning Victorian period costumes, breathtaking stage magic, soaring ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, and joyous holiday carols.

Families can take in breathtaking 360-degree views of the frozen Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls from the famous glass-floored 'Endless Bridge' before the curtain rises. Booster seats, sensory kits, and coat checks are available in the lobby.
