A truly delightful production. The entire production felt actor generated, my favorite kind. Beautiful music of three live musicians, and a talented cast, created an energetic and stunning take on an old classic.

Included in the Prague Quadrennial 2015 International Design Exhibition as one of 20 artists selected to represent the USA Exhibit.

“Overall, creative lighting and sound, along with set design and projection technology, are used well. A large projection screen as an interactive backdrop beautifully sets the changing moods of scenes. But the technique was most impressive when a huge, moving, changing image of the black-robed Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come was projected onto the screen, turning the screen into an important character.” – Amy McRary, Knoxville News Sentinel
