This is the 18th year for the Cincinnati Playhouse’s excellent adaptation of A Christmas Carol, featuring Bruce Cromer. He’s been in the show since 1997, playing Bob Cratchitt for eight years; he’s now in his fourth season as Scrooge. A very physical actor, Cromer is funny and touching.

The Playhouse employs lots of local actors, helping to sustain our pool of Cincinnati performers.

A Christmas Carol opens Dec. 4 and runs through Dec. 30. Tickets are $20-$43, but the Playhouse offers unsold seats for half-price on the day of performance. Students can buy seats for A Christmas Carol for $22 two hours before curtain.
