Critic and Audience Reviews
-Michael Freeman, Freeline Media"... I loved the way this show evoked a feeling of an old Christmas, a bygone time of Christmas carols in the public square and the undeniable urge to find happiness in your life and goodness in others. It speaks volume that as I was exiting the theater, a woman reached out, touched my arm, and felt the urge to tell me that the show brought tears to her eyes. 'That’s how wonderful it was,' she gushed."
-Michael Wanzie"... Add to the proceedings the lush and beautiful costumes, the lavish props and decor, the handsome and highly functional set design, and the equally lovely lighting and you’ve got as grand and glorious a production of this old chestnut as might possibly be being presented at any other professional theater anywhere in the country - but this one is right here in our own backyard - and at a fraction of the cost of other productions of similar quality. 'God Bless Us Everyone' indeed. "
