Celebrate the joy of the Season with Portland’s favorite holiday tradition!
This timeless holiday classic returns to the Playhouse, relating the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy and miserly businessman who ultimately experiences redemption. As Scrooge learns the importance of kindness, connection, and love, this heart-filled, musically-infused telling of the story is sure to leave audiences feeling uplifted and inspired. Always a local highlight, A Christmas Carol is a dose of soul-nourishment that is sure to feed you this winter. For those who have made A Christmas Carol a cherished part of your holidays, we can’t wait to have you back at the Playhouse with us. And if you’re yet to experience this yuletide tale, this year we invite you to begin a new tradition with us.
