Curtainup Founder & Editor Elyse Sommer's Epilogue -- I've passed the torch for reviewing and editing new theater productions on and off-Broadway and elsewhere. However, I'll continue to sound off here with my take on Live and Onscreen Entertainment. As for Curtainup's extensive content since 1996-- it's all sill available at www.curtainup.com

Off Broadway News:  The high profile  War Horse, gets a low-budget-low-key   sequel. For XMas fun, consider   a kvetchy Jewish Scrooge   and  nostalgic Dylan Thomas Christmas concert
Farm Boy- a far more low-keyed but cleverly conceived sequel Michael Morpurgo’s 1997 novel than War Horse, the play or the soon to be released movie. . . .

A Chanukah Charol
Jackie Hoffman

A Chanukah Charol- Who better to give Dickens' famous holiday story a Jewish twist than Hoffman, the queen of side-splitting stand-up kvetch? Who indeed! After all, Hoffman's kvetching is a way of saying "Bah! Humbug." . . .

A Child's Christmas in Wales-Howard McGillin leads the five-member cast in Dylan Thomas's concertize
d story that's as good as a striped and colored peppermint stick . . .
