A Nice Family Christmas Reviews
Broadway World- Highly Recommended
"...Doug Engalla has skillfully directed a superb cast of players who only have to speak Phil Olson's hysterically funny lines to get laughs. It's a howler a la Neil Simon with a laugh about every two seconds, and each character has that dry infectious Minnesota accent that makes you double over every time you hear it."
LA Splash- Highly Recommended
"...A NICE FAMILY CHRISTMAS is blessed with a talented author, a skilled director, and an enthusiastic cast who make this Christmas come alive. There's no better way to celebrate the holiday season than by being a Peeping Tom on Christmas Eve at a certain condo in Minnesota. For a laugh a minute and a very entertaining evening, stop by the Olsons and wish them a Merry Christmas."

"...When this dysfunctional family gets together, who knows what their conversations reveal as they battle it all out in a nice family gathering loaded with a laugh-a-minute. And just maybe it is all too personal to be printed in a newspaper!"
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...Olson is a clever writer, and much of his play is funny in an obvious sitcom-ish way. Director Doug Engalla has given it a slick and lively production, with an able ensemble that makes the most of the material. Top honors go to Rodd as the relentlessly bad-mouthing Granny."
