This holiday season, the Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) invites you to experience the magic of A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption, transformation, and the true spirit of Christmas. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the classic, this production offers a fresh take on the beloved story—with a special touch of Lowell charm. As a treat for Macaroni Kid readers, you can enjoy $10 off each ticket by using promo code MACKIDLOWELL.
At the heart of A Christmas Carol is Ebenezer Scrooge, a grumpy, cold-hearted man who hates Christmas. But on Christmas Eve, he’s visited by three ghosts who take him on a journey through his past, present, and future. Through these encounters, Scrooge discovers the true meaning of Christmas: generosity, kindness, and the importance of loving others.
In addition to Dickens’ original story, this version of A Christmas Carol brings a little bit of Lowell into the mix. With subtle nods to the history and spirit of the city, this production connects the classic tale with the values of community, hard work, and generosity that make the Merrimack Valley such a special place.
This local twist gives the story an added layer of warmth and familiarity, making it not only a holiday celebration but also a tribute to the people and culture of our area. To further connect with the community, this beautiful production also features a talented cast of local youth in many key roles, bringing fresh energy and another local connection to this beloved classic.
MRT's version of A Christmas Carol is the perfect way to make lasting memories with the ones you love, whether you're looking for a fun family outing or a way to experience the magic of live theater, MRT’s production has something for everyone. The mix of humor, drama, and holiday cheer will leave everyone smiling and feeling uplifted, with the lessons of Scrooge’s transformation echoing long after the play ends.
