Inspecting Carol is a comedy written by Tony-winning theater director Daniel J. Sullivan. The play is set in the Midwest, where a regional theater company is gearing up for their annual production of A Christmas Carol. With their funding about to be cut, they must convince a government inspector that they are deserving of an arts endowment, an attempt that results in an outlandish "modernization" of the tale.

With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend me a Tenor. Learn More

Sorry, but this is a silly, amateurish play. Even a highly gifted cast would have found it impossible to make much of it. And this is not a highly gifted cast.

A bit slow, especially the first half, & not as accomplished as past productions from this company but some very funny moments in the second half.

Delightful play. Not as tight and cohesive as it might have been. Cast was fine for the most part-some better then others. Timing needed work but concept was very cute. Some very funny moments.

Description

When a financially-strapped Midwestern regional theater company is informed that their annual endowment grant is in question, and an inspector will be paying a visit to decide their fate, a case of mistaken identity wreaks havoc and puts a riotous spin on their already unusual version of A Christmas Carol.

Featured in the cast are Linda Alznauer, Michele Bernath, Cynthia Bryant, Patrick Burke, Kent Butler, Klair Bybee, Judith E., Larry Eisenberg, Lareen Faye, Doug Haverty, Robert McCollum, and Steven Wasserman.
