A Testimonial:

I was delighted by Bill Shipper and Richard Lederer’s Dances with Words, a program of fun wordplay set to excellent music. Bill Shipper is an outstanding musician, and Richard Lederer is hilarious, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about language. 

The attendees loved the program, too! It was one of the most popular events for adults we’ve ever had. The community room was so packed that we had to add extra chairs in the aisles. There was frequent laughter, and the audience sang along to the choruses. Several people came up to me afterward to tell me how much they enjoyed it and to request similar programs in the future. I’ve worked with Richard Lederer several times, and it is always a pleasure. I’m pleased to give this program my highest recommendation.
