A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House

Jack Thorne’s stage musical reframes Dickens’s 1843 ghost story as a piece of living theater, tracking Ebenezer Scrooge through a night of reckoning with memory, labor, and social debt. In New York, *A Christmas Carol* has long functioned as seasonal civic folklore, returning in new versions as reliably as the city’s winter rituals. This run appears at 92NY and in NYC Parks Events, with Summoners Ensemble Theatre performing a traditional adaptation on January 6, 2026. The form can soften the story’s harder edges, but its questions about responsibility still land.
