PRESS ABOUT THE SHOW
"Louisville has a lot of theatrical holiday traditions, starting with The Nutcracker, but The Kings of Christmas is the only one that's homegrown." - Courier Journal
"A holiday show that has become a Louisville holiday tradition...one of the funniest shows you’ll see this holiday season. It’s a brilliant riff on Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol." - LEO Weekly
"The Kings of Christmas by Doug Schutte is a must-see. If you don’t have a ticket, buy immediately — if you still can. If you can’t, you might consider bribery. Or theft. Or blanketing your social media connections in hopes that somebody who has a ticket will come down with something… The years have not diminished the ingenious intoxicating pleasures of this holiday treat." - LEO Weekly
"Comic Writing of a high order" - LEO Weekly
"The madcap opening moments of Kings are flat-out brilliant – and the rest of the play lives up to the opening. This is among the best-written, best-executed riffs on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol you’ll ever see." - LEO Weekly
"The first half of the play is a courtroom comedy like none other, with Uncle Frank as prosecutor (channeling his courtroom idol, Ben Matlock), Wendy as an earnestly impulsive defense attorney (who repeatedly objects to her own inappropriate remarks) and a judge and jury made from poster board cutouts. The highlight of the trial is an intricate series of Rashomon-like reenactments that depict various accounts of Marley’s demise. These scenes are comic writing of a high order – and the ensemble revels in the shape-shifting variations." - LEO Weekly
"One of the funniest shows you'll ever see" - Arts Louisville
