What theatre producers are saying about A Don’t Hug Me Christmas Carol:
"Opening night here at Pioneer Place was a HUGE hit. The audience response was overwhelming. Ticket sales are brisk with seven shows sold out already. This will be the hardest ticket in town to get...We really needed this shot in the arm!!!" - Dan Barth - Owner, Pioneer Place on Fifth
“We closed New Years Eve day and the show was a great success. We had nearly sold out houses after the first weekend. I had people coming back 2-3 times so they can catch things they missed when they were laughing. One lady said to me on the way out of the theatre...’Tell the author to keep writing!’” - Deb Belquist - Niven Adams Opera House
"What's usually a 6 week run has turned into a 16 week run, outstanding for a holiday show. The word of mouth is incredible. I’ve never seen so many people come back so many times to see a show. " - Doug Engalla – Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre
