Latitude Theatre is pleased to announce the return of its holiday show A Klingon Christmas Carol, running Dec. 4, 2026, through Jan. 2, 2027, at Theatre Puget Sound Center Theatre at the Seattle Center Armory.
A Klingon Christmas Carol is a unique adaptation of Dickensโ long-treasured holiday tale A Christmas Carol, with the dialogue scripted completely in the Klingon language, supported by English supertitles and a Vulcan narrator. The play โsets out to honor Klingon fans from all eras of Trek,โ said Latitude Theatre Artistic Director and play co-author Christopher Kidder-Mostrom, describing themes of courage and honor to propel the traditional story of the cowardly SQujaโ (Scrooge) as he is challenged to revisit his choices and change his fate, with the help of three Klingon warrior spirits.
Savvy audiences recognize subtleties in the production that hearken back to the subjectโs television roots, such as references to โred shirtsโ, the unnamed crewpeople who met with tragic ends during missions throughout the life of the show; the โKlingonsโ themselves are modeled after the most familiar physical iterations with the sharply-ridged foreheads and loose, curly hair.
โWe are celebrating Klingon history and culture through one of the most influential stories ever told,โ said director Rowan Gallagher. โJust like the Victorians of Dickensโ tale, Klingons hold family, honor and tradition in great esteem. Audiences are sure to be on the edges of their seats all night, and we are excited to welcome them to experience the quick-witted humor, magnificent battles, and emotional storytelling that are hallmarks of Klingon tales.”
Recent events show audiences and the theatre community at large is ready to make A Klingon Christmas Carol a permanent holiday fixture, the production was recently awarded two Members Choice Gregory Awards for Outstanding Ensemble โ Play and Outstanding Production โ Play. Theatre patron Eugene Zabokritski described the production as โfunny and engaging on the outside, and deeply meaningful inside.โ Kidder-Mostrom says it a โhuge honorโ that the show has found such ready acceptance and is eager to continue welcoming fans back again and again.
โIt may only be the second year, but it already doesnโt seem like Christmas without Klingons,โ patron Chris Newell told Kidder-Mostrom.
โTo know that our peers and colleagues saw the work and passion that went into the 2025 production means more than words can describe,โ he says.
