Douglas Graves, reviewing in Lehigh Valley Press, wrote, "Noelle, a Christmas Cocktail in Two Acts," written and directed by Ara Barlieb and co-produced by Barlieb and Pamela McLean Wallace, is funny, sad and worth seeing, not just for the superb acting, but for the story.

"Noelle" tells the story of an elderly woman in decline who finds herself surrounded on Christmas Eve by concerned family and caretakers who are all more than somewhat dysfunctional.
They include her deeply frustrated son and numerous family members; a lascivious pastor; a lonely neighbor; a larcenous ex-daughter-in-law; a bibulous doctor; and a devoted county caseworker, all of whom alternately counsel and pressure Noelle to accept their well-meaning, but unwelcome intentions for her.
"Noelle" will be performed Dec 16-18 and Dec 20-23.
