"An ambitious and richly detailed new seasonal offering. A Civil War Christmas is the rare holiday entertainment that brings intellectual nourishment as much as it entertains." — The New York Times
"Heartfelt, sweeping, rich and moving." —
Variety
"VIBRANT, unique, and remarkable. A memorable experience. This epic piece marks a high point in Paula Vogel's admirable body of work."—
New York Theatre Scene
"Holiday entertainment of the most DEEPLY SATISFYING kind. Ambitious in scope and generous in spirit. A Civil War Christmas fully delivers on its promise to create a rich national narrative. It's a Christmas story, yes, but also the story of all holidays, and all traditions, that light a candle against the darkness. An enduring piece of theatre for Christmases yet to come." —
Boston Globe
