"...Creative Cauldron’s A Christmas Carol Memory has a very strong and talented cast. Add to that the incredible puppets of Margie Jervis and Creative Cauldron brings an entertaining production that will satisfy this time of year’s holiday craving for Dickens and all things Christmas."

"...That much could be forgivable if the segments that bookend each act were particularly good or poignant. But for a play that centers around a young girl’s first Christmas after losing both of her parents, it lacks much depth. One example: frequently, young Charlotte is teased by her cousins and extended family because her parents are dead. The adults respond so mildly you would think she were being teased for having a dead hamster, not dealing with her first Christmas as an orphan. It is a baffling thing to watch."

"...Director Laura Connors Hull stage direction relies heavily on imagination and miming. Stevenson's Bob Cratchit really commits to warming his hands at an imaginary one-coal fire. But not all attempts to mime or navigate the stage are so successful. There are moments when audience members were literally pushed aside to make room for an exchange between characters. Perhaps a production with twelve cast members was a bit ambitious for Creative Cauldron's intimate space."
