Update: Jeanie Forte, Palo Alto Weekly: “Break away from the usual ‘Nutcracker’ to enjoy this heartwarming play… Byrd’s mastery of subtle looks and comic timing add depth to the character.” Keith Kreitman, Oakland Tribune: “This ain’t a Shakespeare comedy but it’s a lot of 21st-century fun… As Charles, Byrd is an actor of much talent, who can range from the dark nature of Dracula to comic fluff like this with remarkable detail. His delayed-reaction timing here is worthy of movieland’s Jack Lemmon.” My mother: “I thought it was very good.”
