Theatre of Yugen's signature holiday production returns by popular demand!
Victorian England is transported to Japan, set against the backdrop of its transition from the Edo to Meiji period, a time of significant societal change. Drawing on the Japanese theaters of Noh, Kyogen, Kabuki, and Butoh, this multifaceted reimagination of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol reminds us that this is the season for love, family, community, and wonder. A Noh Christmas Carol brings Dickens’ beloved classic tale to life in a way that no other production can.

There is no age limit for this family-friendly reimagination of Dickens’ Christmas Carol, but we recommend it for children ages 5 and up. While the production is full of heartwarming moments, it includes scenes featuring ghosts in dark lighting, which may be a little spooky for very young viewers.
