Testimonial
"It was an honor and a privilege to work with Anthony DePoto in my 6th grade classroom this year. From day one he engaged my classes with his charm and wit. His ability to bring our social studies curriculum alive with the craft of script writing and performance art was well beyond my expectations. I highly recommend his talents and look forward to the day when we can collaborate again. Bravo, Mr. DePoto!"
