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. ## Similar picks in Seattle - [The 5th Avenue Theatre: The Wizard of Oz Holiday Musical](https://grassyknees.com/seattle/activities/the-5th-avenue-theatre-the-wizard-of-oz-holiday-musical--listing-ec7aa11aad4bd07ccad8b83a) — Nov 27 – Dec 27 · 1:30 PM – 9:30 PM · The 5th Avenue Theatre · Ages 4+ · From $39 · checked Nov 4.
