Nov. 21-Dec. 27

Indiana Repertory Theatre

“A Christmas Carol”

This
year’s production is a shortened one, with the intermission eliminated and scenes and cast-sized trimmed. Also on the
schedule are two high-tea performances (Nov. 29, Dec. 6), with beverages, sandwiches and pastries served on the mezzanine.
