Vince: The Life and Times of Vince Lombardi
A one man play starring John Pinero
Friday, April 29 – 7 p.m. at Memorial Hall
Even though the legendary coach has passed on, you don’t have to miss his spirit. Some would say he never left at all. John Pinero is Vince Lombardi! The Green Bay Packers would say so. The NFL would say so. Even Lombardi’s team would confess that Vince is still with us today.
John Pinero’s one-man play on his portrayal of the greatest professional coach in football history is a force to be reckoned with. John has won praise and recognition from every significant member of the professional football community. Even ABC television hired him to star in the 2006 pre-game Super bowl show.
John’s list of testimonials is extensive and includes praise from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame, and former Lombardi players, Bart Starr, Willie Davis, Fuzzy Thurston, and Jerry Kramer. He has impressed and inspired communities with his highly appraised play. Critics have reviewed John’s performance and have written five star reviews. Watch Vince on Youtube now!
Among the reviews, Mike Downey of the Los Angeles Times gave the play a glowing review, telling readers it’s “riveting” and to “Go, go, go see Vince!” The Milwaukee Journal sentinel wrote, “This is the stage incarnation of Vince Lombardi, brought to you with impeccable care by actor John Pinero”, and the Green Bay Press Gazette declared, “Vince packs a lot into less than two hours. Pinero did his homework, and then some.”
“Winners never quit and quitters never win.” – Vince Lombardi
