TESTIMONIALS
What They’re Saying!

- Short Films Matter
"Rosario Amico (as Billy Crocker) and Paul Inglese (as Moonface Martin), who play off each other like a couple of old pros. They milk every comic moment for all it’s worth, occasionally stepping over into the realm of slapstick. The entire show, in fact, takes on a cartoon-like feel."
