A Christmas Carol – 2026

Ford’s Theatre presents its annual music-filled staging of Charles Dickens’s holiday classic. The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge as the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future confront him with the consequences of his life and guide him toward compassion, renewal and redemption. The production includes Dickens’s familiar characters, supernatural visitors and a children’s ensemble, blending festive spectacle with the spirit of the season.

Craig Wallace returns as Scrooge in a production originally conceived and directed by Michael Baron. The staging has been praised for its richly visual presentation and lively vocal performances.
