Inspecting Carol is a comedic play by Daniel J. Sullivan, written in 1991 and produced by the Seattle Repertory Theatre.
This play is about a small professional theatre company in a midsized city.
This company has performed the same play, "A Christmas Carol", to the same community, with the same actors, for far too long.
The company strives to maintain funding even as they receive financial cuts.
They fall all over themselves trying to schmooze the man they believe to be the person responsible for issuing the grant.
