‘Christmas Carol’ returns to Portland Playhouse this December

Christmas Carol

December 3-28th, at Portland Playhouse: Christmas Carol

By Charles Dickens
Directed by Cristi Miles

Dickens’ classic ghost story returns after last year’s success in attracting a large, diverse, and enthusiastic neighborhood audience. This homemade, holiday treat that invokes the beauty of second chances will charm you in with what Portland Monthly called “an immersive musical wonderland that embodies the holiday spirit.” Join us for an authentic, music-filled journey to nineteenth-century London, in which greedy Scrooge learns his lesson and Tiny Tim has the last word.

Adaptation and original lyrics by Rick Lombardo
Original music by Anna Lackaff and Rick Lombardo
Music arrangements by Anna Lackaff
