CAPA returns A Christmas Carol to the Ohio Theatre over Thanksgiving weekend, November 27 to 29. Ticketed family theatre with local casting and State Street parking.
CAPA presents A Christmas Carol at the Ohio Theatre from November 27 through 29, 2026, directed by Short North Stage artistic director Edward Carignan. Tickets sell through the CAPA Ticket Center. Holiday weekend seats are paid theatre tickets, not free community seating or a lobby reading.
The Ohio Theatre anchors State Street in Downtown Columbus beside Statehouse garages that work well for evening shows. The production blends Dickens' story with carols and dance for mixed-age audiences who want a seated holiday start.
Book ahead if you want a specific Thanksgiving-weekend curtain. Arrive 20 minutes early for parking and ushers, and treat this as a soft open to the wider holiday arts calendar that also includes BalletMet's Nutcracker later in December at the same house.
Confirm hours on the official page the morning of your visit, pack a layer for evening air, and screenshot any timed-entry tickets before you reach the gate.
