For nearly five decades A Christmas Carol at the Children’s Theatre of Madison has been a cornerstone of the holiday season, and year forty nine proves why this tradition continues to thrive. This production is not just a play. It is a shared community experience that blends storytelling music youth artistry and holiday magic into one unforgettable night.

This season is especially meaningful as CTM celebrates its sixty year anniversary. Artistic Director Brian describes the honor of carrying a tradition that shaped his own childhood while continuing to evolve it for new generations. One of the biggest changes this year is a brand new Scrooge portrayed by acclaimed actor David Allen Anderson, bringing fresh personality and energy to the role while keeping the heart of the story intact.

Jennifer, who plays the Ghost of Christmas Past, highlights how powerful this production is for young audiences. Every performance includes children experiencing live theater for the first time. Seeing actors musicians and dancers up close creates memories that last far beyond the holidays. Nearly half of the cast is made up of youth performers, reinforcing CTM’s mission to place young people at the center of the arts.

The show features a live four person orchestra performing an original score that weaves classic Christmas carols into a cinematic musical experience. Visually the production shines with colorful lighting effects and dozens of illuminated lamps that sparkle and shift throughout the performance, creating a true feast for the eyes.

Running through December twenty first, A Christmas Carol is recommended for ages seven and up and offers a perfect blend of whimsy warmth and reflection. Tickets and show information are available at CTM theater org. This is Madison holiday tradition at its finest.
