"Your new hero...an opportunity for communities to come together to laugh, question, and learn."
"Lassar's performance is effortless and riveting"
"The storytelling was so good that it immediately made me think of the legendary Sholom Aleichem...not only technically brilliant, but also emotionally and spiritually rich"
"When my friend, Mike Pardee, associate director for Community Engagement at The Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance at Rice University, told me they were bringing [Antonia Lassar] to Houston, I saw it as a golden opportunity to bring people from many religions together for this thought-provoking presentation."
