Synopsis
About the Adaptation
If you saw our April 2025 production of "The Pilgrim's Progress" you'll have an idea about how this show will be staged.
In true Looking Glass Theatre fashion, we will be presenting this story with a small cast, and a minimalist set.
The classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge by Charles Dickens, adapted for the stage.
On Christmas Eve, the ghosts will arrive one by one, and escort Scrooge through the Christmas Days of his past, present, and future.
We believe the true spectacle of live theatre is found in the story and the performances. By keeping our sets simple and our actors few, we are able to showcase one of the greatest stories every written, with some of Manitoba's finest actors.
Audiences can expect to be blown away by incredible performances, endlessly creative staging, and a story and message that has been preserved and unchanged from the beloved original book.

About Looking Glass Theatre
Steinbach's Professional Theatre Company
🎭
Looking Glass Theatre got its start in Community Theatre, as "Looking Glass Productions". Our OG fans will remember the Fringe shows, the camp shows, the university shows, basically any opportunity we could get our hands on. Then, with 15 years of community theatre production behind us, we launched professionally in 2023.
🙋🏼🙋🏻♀️
The company was founded by Marc A. Moir and Laura Kathleen Turner. We both started as performers, and throughout the years have eagerly learned the necessary skills to take on show production. So now, we can take a single idea; write it, cast it, costume it, build the set, market it, and perform it at a professional level.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
But it's not just about making opportunities for ourselves. There are two other goals that have driven us from the beginning: To create shows that (1) audiences want to see, and (2) actors want to be part of.
😎
Basically, this means that we never choose shows for the sake of pushing an agenda. We find that sort of thing often dilutes the entertainment aspect of theatre, which we're not interested in doing. We think live theatre should be a fun, immersive experience that audiences can escape in to. If they want to pull out a "message" or "meaning" from the play, they totally can! But we're not going to beat you over the head with it.
🤩
And, you'll often see the same actors on stage throughout the season. This is intentional! We have found some of the best actors Manitoba has to offer, and we want to show off their versatility!
🪞
So there you have it! We are Steinbach's professional theatre company: Bringing fun and exciting live theatre to Steinbach, Morden, and Winnipeg, by holding up a mirror (or, "looking glass") to the human experience, and putting a spotlight on all the beauty to be found there.
