A Metropolis tradition, celebrate the holiday with Ebenezer Scrooge and the Cratchit family. Scrooge’s only concern is with making money, no matter the cost to those around him. He doesn’t even want his loyal employee Bob Cratchit to take the day off for Christmas and turns down his nephew’s invitation to join his family for Christmas Dinner. Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by three magical spirits who take him on a journey through his painful past, gloomy present, and possibly fatal future as he learns how his actions have affected those around him.

THE LODGE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
18 Villa Court, Elgin, IL
The Lodge Performing Arts Center, 18 Villa Court in Elgin, was initially constructed in 1927 as a home for the Elgin Elks Fraternal Order. After many years of celebrating brotherhood at this location, the building was used as office space until it was reborn as an entertainment venue in 2026 following an 18-month, $2 million dollar renovation.
The Lodge Performing Arts Center is home to two resident theater groups, Schaumburg On Stage/Students on Stage and point2point productions. In addition to these two production companies, the lower level is home to the Elgin Arts Showcase, an innovative black box performance venue operated by the City of Elgin. Outside organizations are free to inquire about rental availability at thelodge@schaumburgonstage.org.
Both the Elgin Art Showcase and The Lodge Performing Arts Center are fully accessible for persons that require barrier-free access at our 220 DuPage Entrance. Both spaces are equipped with accessible seating and accessible bathroom facilities. The Lodge Performing Arts Center has Enhanced Hearing Devices for all performances upon request. Units are limited, so please contact us prior to the date of your arrival at thelodge@schaumburgonstage.org to reserve your hearing device.
