Inspecting Carol is a comedic play by Daniel J. Sullivan, written in 1991 and produced by the Seattle Repertory Theatre.[1] It is a variation on the play The Inspector General by Nikolai Gogol.
This play is about a small professional theatre company in a midsized city. The company strives to maintain funding even as they receive financial cuts. They learn that they will be inspected in order to receive a grant. As more and more things go wrong, the company tries to deal with each other while getting through the show.
