Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Trinity Repertory Company
by Christopher Verleger - November 20, 2025
“A Christmas Carol” at Trinity Repertory Company is as much a Rhode Island holiday tradition as snow, shopping, and Santa. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t seen it since 2014, so this 49th annual production was especially new and fresh for me, much like revisiting an old friend whom I hadn’t realized how much I missed, and I understood once again why New Englanders trek to Providence year after year during the yuletide season for this magical experience.
