A Galveston Christmas Carol Brings a Familiar Holiday Story Home

Galveston has plenty of stories of its own. This December, Galveston Lighthouse Productions invites you to experience a familiar holiday story in a new way: A Galveston Christmas Carol, an original adaptation by Samuel Gorashko making its world premiere.

The production runs December 4–20, 2026, at Powhatan House, The Bryan Museum, and MarMo Plaza. This black box-style production puts the focus on the actors, characters, costumes, atmosphere, and heart of the story.

We’re also teaming up with the Galveston Garden Club to help raise funds for its 501(c)(3) nonprofit and support the restoration of Powhatan House, the club’s historic property. Our community partners include The Bryan Museum, the Arts Downtown District, MarMo Plaza, and the Galveston Music Collective.

“At its heart, this story asks what we carry from the past, who we choose to be in the present, and what kind of future our choices create. Bringing it to Galveston lets us explore those questions in a place with a history all its own.”
