Studio J in Association with kef productions presents:

“Loss. Lust. Excitement. Disappointment. Regret. Revenge.
And maybe - just maybe - there's  some Christmas cheer mixed in . . .
more to get your heart, soul and funny bone warmer than if you'd drunk
a gallon of fresh eggnog . . . a consistently hilarious evening”

—Matthew Murray of Talkin’Broadway.com
