    Yes, yes, yes -- Tinsel wars were definitely a "thing" in the 1970s! Christopher Soucy captures the absurdity of traditions where we dig our toes in deep and shows us how we can laugh at ourselves instead. Well done.

    The tension and the laughs escalate at a frantic pace in this clever look at holiday traditions. The narration that places the inter-family squabble into historical context is simply brilliant. So much to love about this play, including a character who could pass for George Santos, Jr. Obviously a great addition to any holiday themed festival, but truly a comedy that should be welcome year-round.

    The Great Tinsel War of 1979 has got a great pace, and each time the door opens, another zany character arrives. The Academic, relating each strategic movement in the war, sets the stage for a hilarious story.
