FIRST FINANCIAL BANK presents
NOV. 22 – DEC. 29, 2024
MOE AND JACK'S PLACE — THE ROUSE THEATRE
The holiday story you love unfolds in spectacular fashion in Moe and Jack’s Place – The Rouse Theatre! In Charles Dickens’ classic tale, Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy curmudgeon who finds his heart changing when three spirits and the ghost of a long-lost friend show him the errors of his ways. Across one fateful Christmas Eve night, Scrooge recalls the warmth and generosity of past loved ones, learns the value of kindness through Tiny Tim and the Cratchit family and glimpses a terrifying future should his heart remain the same. Featuring dazzling set, costume and lighting designs, A Christmas Carol promises a magical holiday experience for your family!
A Christmas Carol is suitable for all general audiences, including children ages 5 and older. Due to the full-length nature of the show, children younger than 5 cannot be admitted.
This show runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, with a 20-minute intermission.
Best availability Dec. 27-29 performances. Limited pairs and excellent single seats are available in other performances. Call the Box Office at 513-421-3888 for assistance and ask about the best price on single seats. Special pricing is not valid on pairs and Dec. 27-29 performances. Cancellations happen, often on the day of the show, so check back often.

Help a neighbor in need this holiday season by participating in the Cratchit Family Food Drive to support the Freestore Foodbank. To donate, simply bring a nonperishable food or personal care item to the Playhouse when you come for your performance and place it in the barrel located near the Box Office. Please, no glass items.
Be among the first to see the show before opening night and save! Preview performance tickets are discounted.
Share the excitement of opening!
Trained volunteers describe the visual elements of the production via a hearing enhancement system, allowing patrons to hear dialogue, music and other sound effects. The description is timed to avoid interfering with dialogue. Before the show and during intermission, show and actor information are shared.
Each Rouse Theatre production offers one signed ASL performance during the show's run.
Our sensory-friendly/relaxed performance is designed for anyone who would benefit from a more sensory-aware and relaxed theatre experience. Although open to all, these performances are offered to accommodate individuals with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, dementia, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences or challenges, and others who need a more accommodating environment.
