"I really enjoyed the 2 week intensive.  It gave me the opportunity to see a range of talent from each performer, which is especially great for me because I work at two totally different offices ranging from comedy to horror films.  The first week was all laughs and the following week I was so moved by some of the monologues, I was in tears!  Thank you so much for the opportunity!!"
