The Portland Press Herald published a wonderful profile of Portland Playback just in time for our annual “Holidays from Heaven and Hell” performance in December. We had a great turnout for the night, where audience members shared stories from across the holiday spectrum. From Christmas in Canada to a magical cuckoo clock, they represented the highs and lows of that “most wonderful time of the year.”
