Testimonials
Bruce
I commend Emily's direction, inspiration and patience with me. She encouraged me so much and I am so excited to write more and keep learning. I woke up this morning rereading our notes from the meeting yesterday! I truly appreciate the two hours she spent with me and all the time she took to read and analyze my character's journey.

I have been facilitating critique groups and teaching creative writing for years. I know how hard it is to manage a group--especially one sharing such sensitive material...A great facilitator can deftly shift the focus so that the overall experience is helpful and constructive. Emily has so mastered this art.
Workshop Participant
Izabella
Despite being based in New Jersey while we rehearse in Sydney, Australia, Emily has been communicative, collaborative, and so on top of things! She was integral to the process of cutting and adapting the script, and has been a fount of knowledge as we move through the rehearsal process.

Emily did an amazing job at creating a safe, vulnerable space during our Cohort of the Storyteller Studio. I was able to share some very personal work and recieve supportive feedback from her and my peers.

I'm in a writers group with a fairly wide age and life experience range. The older writers see the dynamic of my play differently from the younger writers. By casting age-appropriate actors in a reading, Emily made it possible for me to hear feedback that confirmed this difference. Eureka! During our conversation about the script in-depth, I described the climactic scene from an earlier draft, wondering if perhaps I should have stuck with that scene. Emily listened, thought about it, and offered her opinion - just what I needed to hear.

Emily consistently demonstrates her talents for new play development by approaching texts with a sharp eye, meticulous focus, and an inspired curiosity. Forever keeping the playwright at the center of her work, she challenges artists to think critically about their stories, characters, and themes, all while creating a safe, positive environment for dramaturgical exploration.
