A Christmas Carol Hollywood will mark its 80th anniversary with 11 performances from Dec. 4 to 19, 2026. The production is staged at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, and its producers describe it as the longest-running Hollywood production of the Charles Dickens story.

Tim Farmer stars as Scrooge. Judah Tarter plays Tiny Tim, Kila Packett plays Bob Cratchit, and Hank Bunker plays Marley and Fezziwig. Avrielle Corti plays the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Jesse Corti directs for the sixth year. His credits include voice work in “Frozen” and “Beauty and the Beast” and a role in the Broadway cast of “Les Misérables.” Julietta Corti, who was in the Broadway cast of “Cats,” returns for the fifth year to choreograph and adapt the production for the stage.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Opening night is Friday, Dec. 4. Each paid ticket includes free parking and an invitation to the Fezziwig Christmas Party after the show.

Producers say the production sells out each year. Film and TV actor Joe Mantegna said it was the best Scrooge he had seen. The church’s 103-year-old sanctuary serves as the main stage.
