“Mr. Pomerantz is an experienced director who understands the specific needs of a training environment. He prioritizes the students’ development as emerging artists, placing their learning and growth above directorial self-expression, while still making bold and exciting creative choices for the production. His work is grounded in a deep exploration of the material, and he guides his actors through the process with clarity, structure, and sensitivity. Will brings a unique background in directing both musical theatre and dramatic texts—an essential combination for this project, which was designed to bridge acting technique with song interpretation. Under his direction, students learned how to translate core principles of text and character analysis from dramatic scenes into their work with song, deepening their understanding of how to apply acting technique to the musical theatre genre.”

– Julia Smeliansky, Director of Instruction, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts
