Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7, and get ready for a festive treat at shows scheduled for 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
A New Tradition Begins

As it kicks off its third season, CCT is once again bringing the timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge to life, inviting families to witness the heartwarming story of transformation, kindness, and festivity. With a cast of professional actors, audiences can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with energy, laughter, and perhaps just a few tears.

The production promises to captivate audiences of all ages, mixing Dickens’s rich narrative with delightful holiday songs and lively performances. Whether you’re a frequent theatre-goer or it’s your first time, CCT’s rendition of A Christmas Carol is bound to leave everyone with a warm glow of holiday spirit.
Building Lasting Memories
“Our partnership with Columbia Children’s Theatre continues to be a cornerstone of our programming,” says Kristin Cobb, executive director of Harbison Theatre. The collaboration, which has served the community for over seven years, creates space for families to forge unforgettable memories together.
Kicking off a new holiday tradition isn’t just about watching a show; it’s about igniting a passion for the magic of storytelling and the spirit of generosity that lingers long after the curtain falls. Cobb shares, “By making A Christmas Carol an annual event, we’re not just recounting a classic story; we’re helping families build lasting memories and fostering a spirit of generosity and compassion that resonates well beyond the holiday season.” Isn’t that a beautiful thought?
Artistic Spirit Shines Bright
Artistic director Jerry Stevenson echoes this sentiment, noting, “There’s something profoundly special about A Christmas Carol. Each year, it offers us fresh insights into the joys of human kindness and the strength of community spirit.” With a vision focused on unity and celebration, the production seeks to serve as a loving reminder of what the holiday season means.
