A Christmas Carol

It’s a chance to see a familiar story given a fresh, engaging treatment. This performance takes place on Friday, December 4, 2026, at the Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA. The intimate, historically inspired space makes for a distinctive theatrical experience, drawing audiences closer to the performance. This show generally appeals to families, theatergoers, and anyone looking for a traditional yet vibrant holiday celebration.
