In addition to her impressive experience as a Broadway actress/singer and her extensive knowledge of theatre arts, I am inspired by Liz's unique ability to transform a usually tense environment into a comfortable atmosphere where artists are able to showcase themselves to the best of their abilities. 
   Her observations in assessing a performance, her ability to offer astute artistic adjustments in a non-threatening manner, and her supportive demeanor are the embodiment of a great teaching artist.

It is almost impossible to express what Liz did for us. She cared about us individually and as a community, introducing us to our confidence. Through her acting, singing and movement exercises we learned how to trust and respect ourselves and our ensemble.
   Without exaggeration, Liz changed our lives. She was an incredible director, mentor, and friend. The trust she had in me has made me trust myself too. I think everyone deserves to be taught or directed by someone like Liz- her guidance has been an unmatched gift that continues to give. 

As the long time general manager at Centenary Stage Company, I have had several occasions to work with Liz over the years, and we have always felt incredibly fortunate to have her on board in any capacity in a number of Equity main-stage shows during that time.
   In addition to Liz's Broadway credits, it is important to note that she brings to each project a level of enthusiasm, skill and dedication that is infectious, and which raises the bar for performance for the entire cast and crew.
