Review of Snowballs at Midnight Mass


Shades of Bill Cosby's infamous Old Weird Harold tale of a snowball's revenge. This time the snowball appears in the knave of a Catholic church somewhere in snowy buffalo. "God says yes to the fallen world." "Even the seven feet of snow deserved an amen." The humor fades to a contemplative reflection in the shadows of this God's church. A moment in time burned into a young man's mind. The religious element is there to fill in the picture, not to make a point or proselytize. The essay is plain, dry, no sounds or music. Plenty of opportunity to drop into a show with little effort.
