"This DVD collection is a handy compilation of the those concepts as well as a worker’s insights on the nuts and bolts of performing the selected routines. My personal tastes in humor and style are a bit different than Mr. Alexander’s, but I was still engaged in the performances and the teaching segments, and his character development segments inspired legitimate selfreflection. " -Joe M. Turner, Genii Magazine
