    I love the way the comic pileup of killer laugh lines in this play escalates so quickly to naked hostility, which, given the circumstances -- newborn, exhausted parents, a frigging drum -- OF COURSE IT DOES.

    I love a piece where I feel like I should have had this premise. Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend remixes the song and story with modern sensibilities and the laugh riot ensues. Both Mary and Joseph insisting that "But there was no room at the inn!" is a hilarious line! And that's just one of many. PlayZoomers must have had a field day with this. Brava!

    This little gem of a play is both a reality check (for my least favorite holiday song) and a laugh-out-loud delight! Maybe, at last and thanks to Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend, the song will fade from the holiday, even if it didn't fade for Joseph, Mary, and the kiddo. Like that famous family, we could all use a little peace and quiet.

    I will never be able to hear that stupid song again without giggling thanks to this hilarious ten minutes of unvarnished truth about a newborn and the suffering parents. Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend does not miss a beat -- sorry, drum metaphor -- and gets everyone in on the act. Oh, it opens up so many imaginative different versions, too..."The Little Bagpiper" and "We Three Kings with Accordions!" Go for it, Lisa!

    This may be the funniest holiday play ever! Plenty of people have strong feelings about the appropriateness of The Little Drummer Boy as a Christmas carol. And Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend harnesses the negative opinions to give us a little boy with the most annoying gift you can imagine. I was fortunate to see a Zoom presentation of this play, and it left me in tears from laughing so much! Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum!
