Step into the Regency Era this November
On November 7th, step into an evening inspired by the lively and elegant world of Jane Austen and Bridgerton. Dress in your favorite Regency-inspired outfit, don a mask, and take to the dance floor. No experience or partner is necessary, and dancers switch partners for each dance. Experienced callers will guide you through traditional dances from the era. A seasoned English Country Dance Band, Mad Robin, will play tunes from the 1600s to the present day, evoking the spirit of a long-ago masque ball.
Enhance your experience and make the evening truly memorable with our limited VIP tickets. VIP attendees will enjoy an array of exclusive benefits, including early venue access for a private pre-ball reception with delicate refreshments, dedicated seating, and a commemorative masque to take home. View full details and purchase options for this limited ticket tier on our purchase page.
The event is a collaboration between the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts and the McKinney Repertory Theatre (MRT). The band, Mad Robin and the callers are brought to you by the North Texas Traditional Dance Society (Nttds.org) and the Venue, GATHER, is brought to you by The McKinney Chamber of Commerce (gatheronthesquare.com)

A 20-Year Tradition, Timelessly Reimagined.
Experience the magic of the holidays with our 20th annual production of A Christmas Carol. Adapted by Dr. Andrew Harris especially for MRT, this heartwarming, one-hour adaptation captures all the wonder, warmth, and redemption of Charles Dickens’ original masterpiece. Perfect for audiences of all ages, it’s the ultimate holiday outing to kick off your festive season!
As the Courtroom Theater undergoes renovations, we’re excited to bring A Christmas Carol to a new venue this year at Covenant Church. We are incredibly grateful to Covenant for opening its doors and welcoming MRT and this beloved McKinney tradition into their space while our home is being transformed.
The story may have a new setting this year, but the tradition continues—with the same heart, community spirit, and holiday cheer audiences have come to love.
MRT is proud to offer an ASL interpreter at our performance of A Christmas Carol on December 19th at 4:30 pm. Please pick a designated ASL seat when purchasing for this performance.
'U' Make "Us" Better!
