First-rate…sound scholarship with a light touch.
–Stephen C. Schultz, Professor, Department of Theatre Arts and Speech, University of Louisville

Superb teacher! Interaction with the audience is masterful: it’s obvious that she enjoys the continuous dialogue between them as much as they do.  No one wants the evening to end. Which is the only problem.
–Sylvia Zenia Wiener, Director for Community Affairs, Central Queens YM & YWHA

Passion and eloquence…a truly delightful program.
–Sallie Gross, Associate Director,  National Museum of American Jewish History (Washington DC)
