 Testimonials

“Casey comes to rehearsals well-prepared and deeply engaged. She has a great instinct for heightening the funny and is unafraid to let strange ideas flourish. Casey has a real talent for amplifying people’s voices in the most entertaining way possible, giving feedback that makes them better at doing what they do, without dictating her own point of view or forcing something inauthentic. She is supportive and dedicated, and I’m glad I’ve had the chance to work with her so much.”
— DJ Cashmere, Cultural Studies Seminar Instructor and Writer-in-Residence Chicago Bulls College Prep A Campus of Noble Street Charter School
“Casey’s sensibility, intellect, and quick wit guide her as a director. She can quickly move from providing feedback on a scene to laughing hysterically at an improvised monologue. Casey pushes you to challenge yourself. She provides an overwhelming amount of positivity and empowerment that motivates me to be a better writer, performer, and comedienne.”
— Emma MacMillian, Member of Taco Tuesdays, all-female sketch writing group

“I just wanted to say thank you again for all your help at the audition workshop on Sunday night. It was really helpful, and I appreciate your guidance.

I just finished my audition, and had an absolute blast. Regardless of the outcome, I’m happy with what I showed them today. Thank you again. I couldn’t have done it without you!”
— Christian, Improv Student at Second City
“Casey is everything I’m looking for in a teacher. She sees each individual’s strengths/weaknesses and works with the group to have everyone’s work compliment each other. Her direction is collaborative, open to feedback, but ultimately makes the decisions that need to be made. Casey tells it like it is and then works with you to improve. She asks questions about your character choices, making you think about the why and helping to make smarter choices later on. She never tells you what to do, but she makes you improvise smarter and harder.”
