"The Galileo Players are an esteemed institution with a track record of intelligent improvisation; the ensemble provides smart, distinctive comedy, making science and philosophy lively."
Chicago Reader
"The Galileo Players explore the inherent conflict between science and faith, and question why people believe what they believe. Pretty heady stuff for a group of funny men and women. But the approach has worked."
Daily Herald
"Deliciously and provocatively funny. replete of intelligent writing and smart themes."
