Christmas Carol, A

Based on the novella by Charles Dickens
Adapted by Mead Hunter
Directed by Rose Riordan
est. run time 2hrs incl. intermission
Already a Portland holiday tradition, this original adaptation by PCS' own Mead Hunter asks the timely and reflective questions: What do you value most? And is it what's truly important? At the holiday season, renew your answers to these essential questions alongside Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge and a sleigh full of ghosts and magical creatures as we remount this warm and engaging adaptation of the Dickens classic. In this version, Scrooge's nephew Fred stands in for the spirit of the season, expressing what we all love about the story when he says to Scrooge: '[This] is a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.'
