About this event

The ghost of Christmas magic drifts through historic downtown Pensacola as CMI Entertainment brings a full theatrical production of Charles Dickens’s beloved A Christmas Carol to the splendid Pensacola Saenger Theatre. On the evening of November 30, 2026, this timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the spirits who change his life unfolds on stage in all its Victorian grandeur — making it the perfect way to launch the holiday season in style.

The Saenger itself is part of the experience. Built in 1925 and fully restored to its original opulence, the 1,921-seat jewel of downtown Pensacola wraps audiences in an atmosphere of gilded balconies and rich velvet that feels made for Christmas pageantry. The touring production brings a full professional cast, period costuming, and atmospheric staging that honors Dickens’s vision while filling the historic hall with theatrical magic.

This is a rare chance to experience a professional touring Christmas production in one of the Gulf Coast’s most beautiful venues. Tickets range from $52 to $82 depending on seating. Book early — the Saenger fills for holiday shows, and this Dickens classic is perennial Pensacola family tradition in the making.
