A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Nov. 29 – Jan. 4
Directed by Kari Steinbach
Music Direction by Michael Pearce Donley
Back by popular demand! Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for Christmas or the Christ in this audience-favorite adaptation of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic, featuring such beloved carols as “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Silent Night,” and more.
Also returning this year is our expansive Christmas display, spanning 4,000 square feet of space, featuring our collections of vintage Saint Nicks, Christmas villages, Nativities, Snowmen, Christmas trees, and more!
YAA Spring 2026
Young Actors Academy registrations are now open for the Spring Semester 2026! Each class track will meet 12 times, beginning the week of January 26 and concluding with an in-class showcase the week of April 20.
NEW this semester: Musical Theater Classes!
In addition to the return of our popular Acting Fundamentals classes, we’re introducing all-new Musical Theater Performance classes in the Spring of 2026. These classes require past experience in one of our YAA summer musicals, or equivalent musical theater experience.
2025-2026 Season
We are excited to announce our 12th season of professional live theater at Open Window!
Season 12 begins with Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, followed by last season’s sold-out adaptation of A Christmas Carol, then an adaptation of Lois Lowry’s popular cautionary tale, The Giver and concluding with Artistic Director Jeremy Stanbary’s highly anticipated world premiere of Joan of Arc.

Like many a church, Open Window is a refuge from the world (and standard entertainment), while not abandoning discussions of the hard issues that get dealt with in the world…
