Review by Starshine Stanfield, County Seat Players, Buford, Ga.

"My students actually asked to produce this play. Our school performed it three years ago, and they wanted to do it again. They rank it as the best show they have ever done."

Review by Denise Paczewitz, Trenton Public Schools, Trenton, Mich.

"Middle-school actors and audiences love John Lennon & Me. Our first production was so popular that we restaged it seven years later and invited the original cast back for a play reunion."

Review by Cynthia Angst, Baldwin School, Bryn Mawr, Pa.

"This is a powerful play about tolerance, acceptance and love. Star's spunk and sense of humor, coupled with her tendency to step out of the action for bits of narration, add the humanity that makes this story all the more touching and thought-provoking. It is a unique and poignant reminder of everyone's need to belong and be loved."

Review by Leslie Thomas, Whitefish High School, Whitefish, Mont.

"I have wanted to do this play for many years and finally had the opportunity to do so. I was not disappointed. John Lennon & Me offers many challenges for acting and staging but the message and script serve them both very well. Standing ovations evey night and happy kids on stage and in the audience. Thanks."

Review by Lyle Johnson, A. E. Peacock Collegiate, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada

"This is a perfect show for middle/high-school students. It has emotional depth but offers ample opportunity for comedic timing. It is a great vehicle for a "star" performer but has great roles for a number of students."

Review by Toby Burbidge, Campion School, Athens, Greece

"A super play that has something for just about everyone. Just keep the tissues handy."

Review by Steve Wilcox, West High School, West, Texas

"Awesome script to work with. It was the perfect show for my youth theatre company."

Review by Charla Cochran, CDF's StageDoor Youth Theatre, Birmingham, Ala.

"This is an excellent show for an advanced class to produce because of the mixture of comedy and drama. The dramatic elements are so natural and the comedic are a bit over the top. Audiences were captivated."
