“Top 10 Holiday Shows to See!” - Chicago Tribune

“Reader Recommended!” - Chicago Reader

"..the audience is forced to ask: What makes us dwell on life’s direction and meaning in the first place? Isn’t true happiness actually a distraction when we lose ourselves in the moment?" - Around The Town Chicago

"...Thank god for TUTA Theatre and their production of Thornton Wilder's 1931 one-act The Long Christmas Dinner…” - Third Coast Review

"Hooked and left wanting more, this is successful theatre."- Chicago Stage and Screen

"...The Long Christmas Dinner is like a river we have stepped into at some point. It was clearly flowing before we entered and it and its tributaries will continue to flow after we leave its shores." - Chicago Theatre and Arts

"In a time and landscape where holiday entertainment options are virtually endless, The Long Christmas Dinner counts as an especially rewarding option from a company who has a knack for curating works of discreet brilliance."- Buzz Center Stage
