Commonwealth Shakespeare Company returns for another magical season at Boston’s historic Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre with its stunning production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”—a timeless story of redemption, generosity, and the power of human kindness.

With direction by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler and musical direction by Dan Rodriguez, this “heart-filled new tradition” (WGBH) is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Make Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” part of your holiday tradition—and experience the story that continues to warm hearts, year after year.
