If you're an actor you must go see Johnny Cannizzaro's "In Development" as part of The Fringe Festival. It's funny, insightful, powerful...not your typical one man show or collection of scenes. In between each scene, which he's written, he engages with the audience and talks about his journey as an artist and there is Absolute Gold in the insights and experiences he shares. I've never seen anything like it! I was so moved that instead of going to a friends gathering afterward I went straight home so I could ponder and wrestle with some of the things that it brought up for me. Ultimately, he has given me a greater understanding of why we go through what we do in our pursuit of the art of acting and story telling in the face of significan... full review

Johnny is a master of his craft. He’s able to bring to life pieces that are humorous, thought-provoking, and sentimental, and give beautiful context for his characters through personal interstitials.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to see Johnny Cannizzaro's show, but I could't have been more pleased with what transpired in the next hour and a half. He can do it all. Writing, acting, accents, piano playing, and even a little bit of magic, although the whole show was magic. The show had emotional depth, humor, and compelling storytelling drawing the audience into his world. What ulitmately make this production memorable it it's emotional resonance. It succeeds not only as entertainment but also as a work the invites reflection long after the audience leave the theatre. Everyone involved showcases the power of live theatre at it's best. I hightly recommend this show for anyone seeking an evening of engaging, moving and expertly cr... full review

Johnny Cannizzaro is such a talent. His show will resonate for anyone who’s ever contemplated their dreams, struggled with perseverance and yearned to find their true identity. Johnny’s writing is profound and full of humor, honesty, raunch and music. Also, his Sylvester Stallone story is *chef’s kiss*. No spoilers. Go see it for yourself!... full review
