“David Birney’s adaptation is an evening of song, poetry and stories that celebrates the spiritual dimensions of the season...from a diverse array of classic and modern texts, punctuated with musical interludes...[The] tone ranges from lighthearted whimsy to solemn reflection…humorous, wry...lighthearted…This is definitely a Christmas show...one (whose) openhearted sentiments send a message that’s reassuringly inclusive.” - The Los Angeles Times

“A calorie-laden Christmas Pudding in Los Altos…a place to jump-start your holiday spirit as we enter the gratitude season of the year.” - The Daily News, Los Altos, California

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
Actors - three men, three women, a range of ages, 20-35, 35-50, 50+. Ideally all should be able to handle challenging texts. All require a level of skill, some ability to do character, accents, or a variety of tone and attitudes, that are best served with experience, rehearsal and hard work. Of course six actors and a consort of eight to twelve is ideal. In may be, however, that a smaller group of actors and singers might be necessary or even better for the presenting group.
