The cast of “A Christmas Carol” at Ford’s Theatre collected money for the Homeless Children’s Playtime Project and presented its representatives with a huge check last week. Mumia Ajah Wood, 2, foreground, plays with a doll during a session of the Homeless Children's Playtime Project, at the Quality Inn in Northeast Washington. And with Tiny Tim in the room, it was hard to say no to the Homeless Children’s Playtime Project.
