A Christmas Memory at Theatre At The Center

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...The play makes no apologies about being a Christmas story and delivers the sentiment its intended audiences want. But it isn’t as sugary as parents might expect; this is after all, the story of a man looking back on how he lost the only home he felt comfortable in. It’s because of the talent of all involved, but especially Klein and Scrofano, that I was willing to see this world through a child’s appreciative eyes. Families looking for quality holiday fare would do well to make the trip out to Munster this winter."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to kick off the holiday season than experiencing a compassionate tale derived from Truman Capote’s short story. This Chicago area premiere is set in rural Alabama in the 1930’s, where there’s hardly any snow on the ground, nor is there a whole lot of talk of Santa Clause coming down the chimney. However, there is a truly unique cast of characters who liven the show with moments of humor and sincerity. Along with that, there is a story which can only be described as heartwarming. Combining all of this with a beautiful orchestra and catchy lyrics, A Christmas Memory is a unique holiday treat."
