Okay… so I’m a little behind.  I was remiss last holiday season in failing to pass along reviews of Keen Company’s adaptation of Beasley’s Christmas Party, which played off Broadway.  So I’ll collect them here as I run across them again.

First up, a review from EDGE New York City.  Here’s the thrust:

Based on a little known story by Booth Tarkington, the American author of “The Magnificent Ambersons,” the small-casted but big-hearted Beasley’s Christmas Party is a tasty little morsel of a show which bursts in, makes light of the nature of man and doesn’t overstay its welcome. For that alone the Keen Company should be considered for some special prize, since nearly every other seasonal entertainment, school recitals included, seems determined to outlast its running time.
