Arts on Stage brings Dickens to the Hammonds Lane Theatre, with Scrooge, the three Ghosts of Christmas, Tiny Tim and a crowd of other characters. The production is aimed at young audiences, and a study guide is linked from the listing for anyone who wants to prepare.
There are two performances on Wednesday, December 16, 2026, at 10:15 am and 12:00 pm. Tickets are listed at $11.50 and the show is recommended for grades 3 to 12. The listing gives no running time and no booking link in its text, so contact the Chesapeake Arts Center to reserve seats.
Parent tip: Both performances fall on a Wednesday during school hours, so this works best for homeschool families or a planned day off. The suggested level is grades 3 to 12, and looking through the study guide first will help younger children follow the three ghosts.

Expand to see the parent tip
Big Dougie "B" hosts a family friendly Christmas concert, joined by Anna Binneweg conducting the Anne Arundel Community College Orchestra, Chamber Singers and Concert Choir. The Grinch, Elvis, and Santa and his helpers all turn up during the show.
The show is on Sunday, December 20, 2026, at 3:00 pm in the Hammonds Lane Theatre, and the calendar lists it until 5:00 pm. Tickets cost $15 to $30, plus fees of $1.45 to $1.90, and are bought through the link on the Chesapeake Arts Center page.
Parent tip: The calendar blocks out two hours, which is a long sit for small children, so a snack and a rest before the 3:00 pm start will help. Ticket prices run from $15 to $30, so check what each price covers before you buy for the whole family.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
