Donation Partners for A Christmas Carol

Actors Theatre of Louisville is proud to partner with these local organizations for donations during our run of A Christmas Carol. For some, this time of year is about gathering together with family and loved ones at home and far away, often over food. Please help us support these wonderful causes that strive to make this true for everyone in our community this holiday season and beyond!
