Step into a mesmerizing world of holiday splendor at Portland Playhouse, the Rose City's undisputed home of Christmas theater. This season, the Playhouse is set to unveil a fresh and spirited rendition of Charles Dickens' immortal classic, A Christmas Carol. With the innovative direction of Charles Grant, and a hauntingly talented cast, this production of the classic tale is shaping up to be utterly unforgettable.

From November 21 through December 30, the stage will come alive with the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, played by the dazzling Lester Purry. Audiences will journey alongside Scrooge as he encounters the Ghosts of Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present (played by Benjamin Tissell), and Christmas Future, who lead him on a journey of redemption and transformation.

Audiences should expect the unexpected:  a blend of the Carol you all know and love, with surprising twists, eerie undertones, and an outpouring of joy and wonder. This production is a must-see for anyone looking to capture the true essence of Christmas in Portland.

This reimagined journey through Scrooge’s world is not just a play but an exploration of our own choices and the power of change. Director Charles Grant shares, "Whether we acknowledge and celebrate this season or not, we can feel the enormous energy of possibility and hope all around us. As we follow Scrooge’s journey to and through his own crossroads, we get to wade in our own possibilities and decide how we’re going to live today."

Portland Playhouse's A Christmas Carol is a festive tradition reimagined, a journey of discovery, and a celebration of everything that makes the season bright. Tickets are available now, and with the excitement building, they're sure to sell out fast, so book your seat soon for a holiday experience that will stay with you long after the final bow.
