On an annual basis, Oklahoma City’s renowned Lyric Theatre brings us one of the best traditions of the holiday season by putting on the classic holiday production, A Christmas Carol.
Charles Dickens’ iconic characters of Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, The Fezziwigs, and of course, Ebenezer Scrooge, take the stage and share their talent for a series of magical nights mid-November through just before Christmas. Lyric’s production is internationally acclaimed and has garnered praise from many, including The New York Times and BBC News for being among just a select number of theatres in the world staging the holiday favorite in 2020.
Due to COVID precautions last year, Lyric performed outdoors at Harn Homestead for the first time. Thanks to the success of last year’s performances, they’ve decided to host it outdoors again this year. The setting provides an immersive experience as audience members walk through the homestead to each scene of the story.
Being outdoors brings the tale to life, as you sip on hot chocolate, cider, and your favorite beverages, you’ll be refreshed by the cool air and talent. Continuing an equally cherished holiday tradition, audiences are invited to contribute to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma following each performance. During the past 10 years, Lyric Theatre patrons have donated nearly $200,000 to help feed thousands of Oklahomans in need. Last year’s attendees helped provide meals for more than 64,000 people.
It’s important to note: the venue does not have seating, so dress comfortably for the 75-minute production. Tickets will be limited to 200 guests for each performance. To purchase tickets, or for more information, visit LyricTheatreOKC.org, or call Lyric’s Box Office at (405) 524-9312.
