Experience the Magic: A Christmas Carol at the Coolidge Theatre
Written by: Emily Shaffer on Thursday, November 20th, 2025
The holiday season is arriving in Wellsboro, and there’s no better way to embrace the festive spirit than with a timeless classic. On December 6th, the historic Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center will present “A Christmas Carol – Dickens of a Christmas,” bringing Charles Dickens’ beloved tale of redemption and hope to life.
A Heartwarming Performance for the Whole Family
This charming adaptation stays true to Dickens’ powerful language, humor, and warmth while offering an intimate theatrical experience. Follow Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformative journey as he’s visited by spirits from his past, present, and future, ultimately discovering the true meaning of generosity and love.
What makes this production special is its simplicity and heart. Performed by a talented company of six actors accompanied by a fiddler, the show features traditional carols and English folk tunes that create the perfect holiday atmosphere. The unique framing device—where a child reading the story becomes drawn into the world of Scrooge, Fezziwig, and Tiny Tim—adds an extra layer of magic that resonates with audiences young and old.
