"Though Portland Playhouse does this version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL every year, it’s always a bit different. Charles Grant has made it his own, using humor and highlighting some very lovely moments, like when Ebenezer and Belle meet for the first time. We weren’t far into Act I when the first tears started to make their way down my cheeks."
