REVIEWS:

**Review of "Where We're Born"**
by: Lisa Brock, MN Star Tribune:
"John T. Zeiler is spot-on as Vin, Tony's obnoxious buddy, whose diatribe on patriotism reveals the insecurity that seethes beneath the surface for all the characters."

**Review of "Fringe Remounts XXL (Table 12 and An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein)"**
by: John Olive, howwastheshow.com
"...but the star of these plays – indeed, of the whole evening – is the quirky and charismatic Zeiler. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Nervous, funny and nasty at the same time. Terrific."

**Review of "An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein"**
by: Brian Leehan, MN Star Tribune:
"With a sold-out house on opening night... Silverstein's wordplay and deliciously demented stories require performers who can embrace the madness, and he is delightfully well-served by Lacey Piotter and John T. Zeiler. Not to be missed."

**Review of "The Awakening"**
by: Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet:
"The production is deeply stocked with memorable performances—among them... and John Zeiler as Edna's father in a turn that would steal a lesser show."
