Welcome (back) to Pemberley! Upstairs at the grand estate of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Christmas festivities are in full swing. While downstairs, beneath the yuletide buzz, the servants bustle about. Their holiday rhythm is shattered when Lydia’s wayward husband, the rogue Mr.Wickham, stumbles in—uninvited, drunk, and dangerous. Secrets spill, loyalties are tested, and upstairs and downstairs collide in this witty companion to Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. Gunderson and Melcon deliver another heartwarming tale of class, chaos, and the generosity of forgiveness.

A Christmas Carol
2026-12-04 19:30 - 21:00 | Toland Theatre, Lowe Center for the Arts, 333 North 16th Street, La Crosse, WI, 54601, United States
John Mortimer’s sparkling adaptation of A Christmas Carol brings fresh wit, theatrical flair, and deep-hearted warmth to Dickens’s beloved holiday classic. The story follows the cold hearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge, whose cheerless Christmas Eve is interrupted by the ghost of his long dead partner, Jacob Marley, and three haunting visitors who reveal the past that shaped him, the present he is poisoning, and the grim future that awaits if he refuses to change. As Scrooge is led through bustling streets, humble homes, and haunting visions, the enduring images of Tiny Tim, the Cratchit family, and the joy of human kindness come vividly to life. Mortimer’s version revels in theatrical storytelling—swiftly shifting scenes, lively narration, and moments of humor that sit beautifully alongside genuine pathos—honoring the timeless message of redemption while keeping the tale fast moving, playful, and deeply moving. At once festive and poignant, this A Christmas Carol celebrates generosity, compassion, and the miraculous possibility of change, making it a perfect holiday experience for audiences of all ages.
