Reviews
"A Strawdog’s multitalented ensemble, under the direction of Hannah Todd, is well-suited for the gig. ... While the show is not a painstaking adaptation of classic literature like other holiday offerings in town, it is a breath of fresh air." - Amanda Finn, Chicago Reader
"Flows with great timing, double-take reactions, and physical comedy. ...Todd's direction is crisp and well-paced with each scene giving every cast member room to be seen without upstaging." - Kathy D. Hey, Third Coast Review
"Highly recommended" - Alexis Bugajski, Picture This Post
