Reviews
“I have known and admired Dr. Aleandri for many years. From our first
acquaintance, it was evident that she had a passion for Italian-American theatre. Her academic pursuuits have dealt with these materials and a good part of her post-doctoral life has been devoted to this subject. I would wager that no one else knows the material so deeply and so widely as she does. What she has discovered and experienced should most certainly be preserved for future generations of scholars and practitioners.”
