December 24th and 25th, amidst cardboard shelters and trash-can hearths, Otis Pope, a sardonic army veteran, decides who is allowed to stay in the enclave, and who must go. Currently part of this "family" are Verna, (Shelly Bordas) a disoriented frequently pregnant, sometimes gritty, other times child-like woman; her nameless and mute eight-year-old son (Isaiah Miller); Charlie, (CJ Hosier) a down-on-his-luck unemployed blue collar worker; Azalee Hodge (Gwen Harris), an outspoken woman trying to climb back up and Filomeno Cordero (Arthur Martinez), a recent immigrant from Central America, who finds the group on Christmas eve. Discovering a worn-out copy of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the group responds to Verna's pleas to re-enact the old story as a gift for her son. She can't wait to be Tiny Tim. The others cast Pope in the Scrooge role, though he resists playing along. In a revisionist inspiration, Pope becomes MC of the "Tiny Tim Telethon." Filo, unfamiliar with the story, assumes a reggae interpretation of the wrong Bob Marley's ghost.
John Moore - Denver Post
"Tiny Tim Is Dead is a vitally important play, under expert direction, executed by a highly talented cast of artistic expertise, and definitely should not be missed."
Holly Bartges- Colorado BackStage
"Theatre Off Broadway's production of Barbara Lebow's Tiny Tim is Dead is a sobering evening of theatre ... Not to be missed."
David Marlowe- Outfront Colorado
