    “ Times are hard when unemployed, as these two are clearly now and feel, but together, amongst their bickering, they find a way to celebrate the big day, in quite a unique way! I would love to see their tree once 'decorated' ! ”

    “ The holidays are a vulnerable time of the year, and these roommates find a beautiful way to create a new scenario of family. Touching, honest, and quirky, MOST WONDERFUL is a charming holiday short play. ”

    “ I do agree that olives are better than beans on a Christmas tree. I also agree with so many that this is an honest, sweet tale of friendship - no matter what the day. It’s the most wonderful gift of all. ”
