    Goosebumps! This is a wonderfully touching play that works its backstory to great advantage. It's hard to have a play based on what to do about something that we never see happen, but Incrocci handles it really well, using everything that happened last night to great effect in the current scene. I love the ending!

    This play is so cute! The dialogue is thrilling and very well-written, and the characters are beautiful! Claire's desire to believe makes you wonder about whether Ellie's story is fact or fiction. And, for the record, I am all for a girlboss Mrs. Claus!! "A Christmas Pickle" is a wonderful holiday short!

    A great example of a clean two-hander with a little mystery and a lot of Christmas magic.
