Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...There's no embarrassment of riches here. Much of the material is in dire need of editing - particularly a tedious parody of TV's Lost that ends the Saturday show. Anf the actors, most of whom are energetic but unfocused, clearly would have benefited from having fewer sketches to learn."

Chicago Free Press - Recommended

"...While containing no moments of screaming brilliance, A Reasonable Facsimile Theatre Company’s second year of their New Play Festival, ‘ARFTCo’s Almost-Has-A-Witty-Title (We Really Mean it This Time) Chicago Christmas Spectacular’, does have enough charm and energy to deliver a worthy evening of heart filled yuletide chuckles. Just as in many current ‘Saturday Night Live’ skits, it is the ultimately the dedicated, talented cast who cheerily carries us through the program’s weaker moments."
