"...Truman Capote may have been the fabled, often decadent mascot of New York's high society and literary worlds from the late 1940s until his death in 1984, but at his core he was a child of the South. Among the loveliest evocations of his early years in rural Alabama are two holiday stories -- "A Christmas Memory" (penned in 1956) and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" (from 1968) -- now in beguiling stage adaptations at Provision Theater."

"...As staged by Tim Gregory for Provision Theater, this evening of Truman Capote's best-loved autobiographical short stories takes a while to find its legs. But boy howdy, does it deliver in the end. That's mostly thanks to Peggy Roeder's enchanting, heartbreaking performance as Sook, the elderly, somewhat addled, completely kindhearted cousin of Capote stand-in Buddy--a lonely, bullied child growing up in the rural south during the Depression."

"...Take your family to see this sweet holiday show that celebrate the human spirit as it defines the true values of the winter holiday season. It is so refreshing to see an original holiday show so well acted. You might end up with one of Sook’s fruit cakes."
