    ~~ Marsha Wagner, Sanibel, Captiva Insider

    ~~      Drew Sterwald, New Press, Ft. Myers

    "...master of the black box musical... slick choreography by Carol Worcel... as pure entertainment goes, Cabaret is hugely successful. Bottom line: a must see."
    ~~ A Seat on the Aisle

    "Kenny Shepard pulls out all the stops to bring elegant sophistication to Swing!. You'll sometimes feel as if these guys should be performing with a net... Seeing these dancers paired up, touching and emoting with each other feels like luxury."
    ~~ Marty Crisp, Sunday News, Lancaster, PA

    "Choreography (Carol Worcel) stays true to the original and revival moves of Bob Fosse and Ann Reinking. Chicago razzle dazzles at ATI's new home." 
    ~~ Lou Harry, Indianapolis Business Journal
     

    "Five Stars... Irresistible... Kenny Shepard captured the joyous exuberance of these love children who were in constant motion, utilizing movement that looked spontaneous and random but was, in reality, seamlessly choreographed (Hair)."  
    ~~ Examiner.com 

    "...the pulsating songs, the groovin' moves, the sensuous moments and the glitter and glam transport show-goers to a happy place...There's too much to praise: the sleazy to glitzy costumes, along with the wigs, glorious wigs, evoke the era. A white wedding scene is straight out of Vegas." 
    ~~ Bonnie Britton, The Indianapolis Star 

    "... Deserving of praise is Carol Worcel for her snappy, slice-of-Americana choreography which added to the authenticity of Bright Star's  period."  
    ~~ A Seat On the Aisle 

    "...a superlative production (Swing!)... The cast executes Kenny Shepard and Carol Worcel's choreography with infectious flair and spirit, style and panache... Fantastically entertaining. Four Stars." 
    ~~ Chris Curcio, KBAQ, Phoenix 
      

    "The cast folds seamlessly into Kenny Shepard's choreography. The excitement around the central figure (What's the Buzz), the Palm Sunday entrance (Hosanna), the profane business in a crowded holy place (The Temple): these first-class numbers are at the pinnacle of the show's characteristic bursting energy." 
    ~~ Upstage  

    "Phantasmagorical displays of acrobatic physicality. Shepard and Worcel's choreography delivers (Swing!)." 
    ~~ Carl-John X. Veraja, Ft. Myers Weekly  

    "Heartbreak Hotel weaves a story involving ten characters with no dialogue, just the songs of Elvis Presley... Clever and very professional... Whether you're an Elvis fan or not, don't miss Heartbreak Hotel." 
    ~~ Tom Berg, The Track 107.9  

    "Lashses Off, a wonderful production, makes an entire show based on the willingness of the cast  to share their real selves. It is so sexy! Love and life cross age, orientation and time to create a unique gem." 
    ~~ Kathy Gehlhausen-Slaughter, Fringe Talk
