An Actor's Carol | Friday, November 27, 2026 | 8:00pm

✨ A Christmas classic reborn through one clown’s boundless imagination.
Now in its third triumphant year at Oklahoma Shakespeare.

Amid a stage strewn with clownish relics and shimmering mementos of Christmases past, present, and yet to come, a lone Clown dares to summon the entire world of A Christmas Carol. With props that seem to hum with memory, he vaults between characters, ghosts, and revelations, weaving humor and heart into Dickens’ beloved tale.
What begins in playful chaos deepens into a moving journey of compassion and transformation, as the Clown uncovers the glowing heart of Scrooge’s redemption. In this fusion of vaudeville mischief and faithful Dickensian spirit, illusion and sincerity entwine until performer and story become one.

Audiences are welcomed into a vibrant realm of imagination, physical comedy, and heartfelt wonder—where the redemptive power of Christmas shines anew.

• a dazzling one‑man feat of storytelling, rich with humor, heart, and theatrical invention
• a faithful Dickens retelling enlivened by clowning, mime, and memory‑laden props
• gentle, joyful interactivity that invites audiences into the story with grace and merriment
