Since 2014, Virginia Stage Company has designated a performance of A Christmas Carol as Theater for Everyone, a performance specially designed as a theater experience for individuals of all abilities (with and without special needs).

Patrons are invited to come early and participate in a hands-on exploration of A Christmas Carol in the main lobby. Learn about the show before you see it, from props and costumes to lights and sounds. You'll be able to see costumes, various props, and get to learn how different effects happen during the performances.

This show will be performed without complete blackouts and with lower volume levels of some sound effects. Other slight modifications have been made to accommodate the audience.

This year, we will also have audio description for this performance, provided by Access Virginia. This is a service for patrons who are blind or have low vision that allows them to more fully enjoy the theater experience. Visit the Access Virginia table in the lobby and check out an ear piece to enjoy the show. There is no charge to receive this service.
