CONWAY — ‘Tis that time of year again for M&D Playhouse’s annual production of the Charles Dickens’ holiday staple “A Christmas Carol,” which opened Thursday at the Eastern Slope Inn Playhouse in North Conway and is being performed Thursday through Sunday for the next three weeks.

While M&D regularly performs “Christmas Carol,” they use a different adaptation each time to keep the material fresh. This year, director Christopher Bellis has done the adaptation himself. The twist he adds gender-swaps the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. It is now Ebby Scrooge (Barbara Plonski) who is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past (David Bellis-Bennett), Present (Amanda Allard) and Yet to Come (Susan Colarusso).
