Larry Vauxhall - 40's, tough, intellectually vain child of the 60's; still looking for a turn-on. A founding member.

I don't use the word 'rollicking' lightly or often, but it seems appropriate here.  Inspecting Carol is inhabited by a wonderfully wacky bunch of characters and situations designed to keep the audience laughing from start to finish in this (get ready...) rollicking comedy of mistaken identities and goofy physical hi-jinks.  

The play is an irreverent look at the Dicken's classic tale, A Christmas Carol, written by Daniel Sullivan, the artistic director of the Seattle Repertory Company, who knew all too well whereof he wrote.  Essentially, it is the story of a small mid-western, cash strapped theater company and the problems of staying financially and artistically relevant, in the 21st century ( something all community theater personnel know all too well).  As they are about to put on their annual cash-cow production of A Christmas Carol, all heck breaks loose.  The play is a fusion of Waiting for Guffman and Gogol's The Inspector General with a dash of Noises Off thrown in for good measure. It is certain that a good time will be had by all!
