A Christmas Carol at ACT Theatre

About this adventure

For nearly 50 years, ACT Contemporary Theatre has presented Gregory A. Falls' beloved, heartwarming stage adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Performing in the intimate, 360-degree in-the-round Allen Theatre at the Union Arts Center in downtown Seattle, every seat in the house is close to the action. Children and parents watch Ebenezer Scrooge's magical journey through Christmases past, present, and yet to come, accompanied by festive carols, period English costumes, and thrilling stagecraft. The 90-minute performance runs smoothly without an intermission, making it the perfect length for school-age children and teens. ACT also schedules dedicated sensory-friendly performances with modified audio and house lighting, alongside student matinees and ASL-interpreted shows. The theater features elevator access, booster cushions, and assistive listening devices. Recommended for children ages 5 and older.
