"PROFESSOR ZUCCINI is delighting our young audiences." (Actor's Theatre of Louisville, KY)
"To say that PROFESSOR ZUCCINI was a rousing success is a gross understatement! We have been told that it was the best show that ever toured the schools" (Jane Street, Lees-Mcrae College; NC.)
"A vaudevillian aura and exaggerated characters make this fun."
