WHAT AUDIENCES HAVE TO SAY

“The best part of this dish is how Cerullo spices her story with themes of family, love, tradition and goodness. Watching her finally and reverentially eat a tomato on stage becomes a magically poignant moment.” --Mark Collins, The Daily Camera, Top 10 Theater Performance - Denver/Boulder 2007

"An easy romp for the gifted Cerullo... portrayed with relish... Cerullo's description of her triplet sisters Valentina, a bioengineer and Josephina, a food activist was side splitting." --John Paul Keeler, Register Star - Hudson, NY

“I applaud Cerullo’s effort to encourage and enliven the debate of food systems, consumption and sense of place. Speaking on contemporary issues while both entertaining and educating the audience can be difficult and Cerullo pulls it off very well!” --Professor Christopher Sheahan, Florida International University

"Miracle Tomato made me re-think my relationship with this beautiful fruit. I've stopped putting tomatoes in the refrigerator, and think about Native American genocide every time I slice up a little red miracle. Cerullo's funny and oddly poignant portrait of Angelina, her family, and her struggles to find her place in the world range from surreal to authentic. She greets the audience with a unique theatrical experience with each presentation."
--James Carter, Lead Curator soloNOVA Arts Festival

"Jessica Cerullo's solo performance is nothing less than virtuosic. She had the audience in the palm of her hand (along with a tomato) from even before the show began, and kept us there the whole time. Make reservations early! Not to be missed." --Boulder Fringe Festival audience member.

"Jessica Cerullo's Miracle Tomato breathes new - and much needed - life into the one-woman-show genre. not the least bit self-indulgent, Jessica is spot on with her acting and storytelling. her character, angelina, is hilarious and I actually learned a thing or two about the modern agribusiness." --Boulder Fringe Festival audience member.

"All five of us were rolling with laughter; it is fabulous." --Boulder Fringe Festival audience member.
