THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

The company has cleared the testing protocols necessary in order to safely return to the stage. Previously, a COVID-19 exposure within the production company necessitated the cancellation of performances beginning with the Dec. 19 evening show to date. The 44th annual production, directed by Jessica Thebus, continues through Sunday, Dec. 31 (closing).

Note: Ticket holders to the previously canceled performances (Dec. 19-24) will receive full refunds by Friday, Jan. 7. If the buyers prefer, they can exchange into a remaining performance, convert the cost of tickets to a Goodman credit or make tax-deductible contributions. Patrons holding tickets to impacted performances who want to exercise options other than refunds should email BoxOffice@GoodmanTheatre.org or call 312-443-3800 (12-5 p.m. daily), and include their names and customer IDs (located on the ticket), along with their preferences, before Jan. 7.

Also, all audiences can experience the play at home courtesy of Chicago Public Media. WBEZ 91.5 and Vocalo 91.1 will air A Christmas Carol—An Audio Play on Christmas Day (Saturday, Dec. 25, at 10 a.m.). Co-adapted and directed by Jessica Thebus in 2020, the Goodman recreated its annual production of Charles Dickens' classic especially for audio consumption—voiced by an all-Chicago cast of 19, including Larry Yando as Ebenezer Scrooge, and featuring the show's signature soundscape.
