The heartwarming adaptation of the cherished Christmas tale by New York Times best-selling author
Charlie Lovett returns for another spectacular year!
London’s most infamous miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, seems beyond redemption—until one unforgettable
Christmas Eve when the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future guide him on a transformative
journey. This lively and heartfelt retelling brings the timeless story of second chances and the true spirit
of the season to life on stage.
Filled with vibrant performances and unforgettable moments, A Christmas Carol is a joyful holiday
tradition perfect for audiences of all ages. Don’t miss this magical experience that continues to capture
hearts and spread holiday cheer year after year!
“A Christmas Carol has always been my favorite holiday story,” commented Director Kim McKeny.
“This adaptation by Charlie Lovett tweaks Dickens’ tale a bit, but leaves the heart and soul of the beloved
classic intact, and we’ve added a few humorous wrinkles of our own to the story. However, the message
remains the same, and I believe we need it even more now than in previous seasons..”
A Christmas Carol will be directed by Jim McKeny. Original set design by Bland Wade, with lighting
design by Suzanne Vaughn. Tara Raczenski will design the costumes. Eppie Jo Torres will stage
manage the production, with Philip Powell designing the sound. Music Direction is by Michael
Lauricella, and choreography is by Ireland Barile.

The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem is thrilled to announce its momentous 90th Season, featuring six mainstage productions and two Spotlight Series plays from September 2024 to June 2025. With a dynamic lineup of classic mysteries, hilarious comedies, powerful dramas, and beloved musicals, this season is set to captivate volunteers and patrons alike.
The Spotlight Series will focus on the American Dream, highlighting the works of contemporary playwrights who explore this theme in unique and compelling ways. Join us for a season filled with unforgettable moments, extraordinary performances, and a celebration of live theatre at its finest.
The 90th Season will opened with Agatha Christie’s timeless mystery, And Then There Were None. Ten strangers are lured to a remote island under different pretexts, only to find themselves accused of murder and systematically eliminated. This gripping whodunit will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
The holiday season will once again be brightened by the return of Charlie Lovett’s beloved adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Join us as we follow Ebenezer Scrooge on his transformational journey through past, present, and future, spreading cheer and hope to all (December 12-15 & 19-22, 2024; Reynolds Place Theatre).
Kicking off the new year, we present August Wilson’s powerful drama, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Set in a
1920s Chicago recording studio, this gripping play explores themes of race, art, and the exploitation of Black artists in the music industry (February 14-16 & 20-23, 2025; Hanesbrands Theatre).
In March, the uproarious comedy Unnecessary Farce, by Paul Slade Smith will hit the stage. This fast-paced farce features two inept police officers, a sting operation gone hilariously wrong, and a slew of mistaken identities and misunderstandings (March 28-30 & April 3-6, 2025; Hanesbrands Theatre).
The season will culminate with the classic American musical Oklahoma!, with music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. This groundbreaking musical tells the story of a charming cowboy and a farm girl who navigate love and rivalry in the early 20th-century Oklahoma Territory (June 6-8, 12-15 & 19-22, 2025; Hanesbrands Theatre).
Our Spotlight Series this season will focus on the American Dream, featuring two thought-provoking plays. First, What They Have, by Kate Robin, explores the complexities of ambition, success, and the lengths to which people will go to achieve their dreams (January 17-19, 2025; Mountcastle Forum). Next, Feeding Beatrice, by Kirsten Greenidge is a chilling tale of a couple striving to achieve the perfect life in a new home, only to be haunted by the house’s dark history (April 25-27, 2025; Mountcastle Forum).
The Little Theatre is offering an Anytime Pass, which includes 5 flexible tickets good for any of the mainstage shows in the 2024-25 Season. The Little Theatre also offers a Premier Anytime Pass, which includes 5 flexible tickets, and first access to premier aisle seats in rows A-G for $150 (plus taxes & fees).
