Twelfth Night

Full quote from Ralph Zito, Chair, Syracuse University Conservatory Theater Program:

“I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful production of Twelfth Night you created for us. It was a splendid success by any measure. Unquestionably, it was the freshest version of the play I have ever experienced – a result, I think, of the combined heart, humor, and intellectual curiosity that drove each scene and each character. It was gratifying to watch and feel the audience absolutely in sync with the unfolding events.

Your work with the students was exceptional. It can be a challenge in theater training to find guest directors who are simultaneously able to hold the students to a professional standard while also supporting them as they develop their skills. You did an amazing job of threading that needle – not only based on what I saw myself, but on what they directly reported to me. They were always excited and looking forward to the next rehearsal. And their work on stage was relaxed, present, appropriately energized, and beautifully spoken. I couldn’t ask for more!”
