Christmas Eve. New York City. An aspiring writer and a struggling actress meet while looking at the famous holiday windows, and the characters in the displays come to life and look back at them, including a lecherous elf with eyes for Mrs. Claus; Scrooge and Tiny Tim arguing about being portrayed as zombies; a street-wise Little Match Girl; Jim from "The Gift of the Magi" enjoying his wife's new androgynous haircut; and a jealous Joseph The Carpenter. A smart, sweet, slightly twisted holiday romantic comedy."Original, brash and bursting with theatrical energy ... The irreverent but charming characters and occasional pokes at tradition in LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS make this play a very good gift." - NYTheater.com"For audiences seeking a Christmas holiday show with a sly and witty New York point of view, LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS is just the ticket. A real treat." - Theaterscene.net"Absolutely charming and impressive ... Remarkably heartwarming ... Characters are whimsical delights that spur the broadest smile." - TheaterMania"You would have to be a major league Grinch not to be charmed ... A sharp, contemporary New York holiday story ... A delightful mix of sentimentality and cynicism that is the perfect representation of Christmas in Manhattan. If you're looking for a holiday show with a slight edge, you will love LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS. It has the feel of a new Christmas perennial." - Connecticut News
