"Last night my Grade Seven Drama Club closed its four-day run of THE COW TIPPERS to tremendous accolades from our audiences! This play is delightful! Very cleverly written, with great character roles to challenge and inspire young thespians. Last year, we mounted SHOESTRING THEATRE, another Eddie McPherson play which was lots of fun and very well received. You can be sure I'll be checking out other Eddie McPherson plays for future production consideration."

"WOW! This is an amazing play(Virgil‘s Wedding-One Act). Our one-act cast won our regional competition with this hilarious play that is laugh out loud funny all the way through. The judges actually stopped taking notes about half way through and just sat and watched and laughed. I recommend this play only if you wish to have a fun time."

“We had a blast performing "Virgil's Wedding". The script … allows for a large cast with a variety of parts and superb flexibility -- and all the crazy characters are unique. The audience loved it and word spread so we had good attendance. Some people came to all three performances! We kept our sets simple and suggestive. I have already recommended this show to other directors.”
