The Players Capture Holiday Magic With a Classic

CONROE, TX -- Take the classic telling of Mr. Scrooge’s journey through Christmases Past, Present and Future, put it to music and you have a bright and magical Christmas story that will delight the whole family. The Players Theatre Company has done just that with their production of “A Christmas Carol: The Musical” running weekends until Christmas at The Owen Theatre in Conroe.

A spirited and heartwarming adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless tale, brought to life with vibrant songs, dynamic choreography, and rich Victorian atmosphere, “A Christmas Carol: The Musical” follows the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted miser. He is transformed by visits from three Ghosts over one unforgettable night. Filled with memorable characters, soaring melodies, and themes of compassion and redemption, this festive production captures the magic of the holiday season and reminds audiences of the enduring power of kindness and community.

“This production celebrates everything we love about live theatre during the holidays—joy, spectacle, and a story that speaks to the very best in us,” said Casey Burden, Interim Artistic Director for The Players. “It’s a timeless tale of transformation and generosity that feels especially meaningful today. This cast embodies the very spirit of heart dedication and humor that is so much a part of what this story is about.”

“A Christmas Carol: The Musical” runs from December 5 through 21, 2025 at The Owen Theatre located at 225 Metcalf in downtown Conroe. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Tickets are currently available by calling the box office at (936) 539-4090 Tuesday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. or online at www.PlayersTheatreCompany.com. The box office is also open two hours before each performance.

This show is made possible through the generous sponsorship of The Lakes at Woodhaven and Woodhaven Village as well as through grants from The City of Conroe, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Texas Commission on the Arts.

The Players Theatre Company began in 1967 as The Little Theatre of Conroe utilizing the Conroe High School stage and later a refurbished plumbing supply store at the corner of Galveston and Robertson Streets. After helping to restore the historic Crighton Theatre in 1979, the group produced shows there for nearly 30 years as The Crighton Players. In 2008, in a partnership with the City of Conroe, The Players Theatre Company was formed and moved to their current residence at The Owen Theatre.
