Here's what audiences have had to say:

“I was blown away. If you’re looking for a Christmas show that goes beyond the usual smarmy fare but that still leaves you with a warm holiday glow, then this is the show for you!”

“It was so real and right, it was completely amazing. It didn’t feel like a performance at all…it was funny, touching, and a little cleansing.”

“Fantastic dialogue that twisted the one-man-show in on itself!”

“You need to make time to see this incredible show!”

The Haunting of Tiny Tim

    Refreshing and moving, THOTT operates as a bit of a mystery wrapped up in a holiday play, keeping the audience compelled as details of past and present unfold. With unmistakable parallels to Dickens' classic, Roblyer's play gives a fresh perspective to the concept of holiday magic. Would make a great companion piece in rotating rep with A CHRISTMAS CAROL . . . or it can succeed on its own as an alternative to the most commonly produced plays in December!
