“Scrooge’s hysterical housekeeper is played with abandon by Jason Parrish, who received well-deserved exit applause on opening night…It’s wondrous the way these few actors transform and become various and varied characters. It’s an actors’ dream challenge to portray so many different people” -Florida Weekly

“Actor #3 is none other than Florida Rep’s Associate Artistic Director Jason Parrish, who takes the stage by storm with a litany of his characters. Still, his Mrs. Dilber character draws many of the laughs as Mr. Scrooge’s mysterious maid. He is hilarious and proves yet again that drag is harmless” -NBC2
