Nicholas Gallucci

I have been a licensed psychologist and professor at Western Connecticut State University for most of my adulthood. The music and performing arts in this play have been with me since childhood. I hope to do justice to all of these experiences in "It Hook or Me This Time." It is a scene from my libretto - "From Mendips to Neverland."
