"Will's passion for comedy and improv cannot be overstated. As my boss he created an exciting and forward thinking atmosphere that nurtured ideas and rewarded creativity. I consider him a valuable resource in both the comedic and professional worlds in addition to a great friend and mentor." - Andy S.
"I hired Will to teach and facilitate two (8) hour workshops on both short and long form improvisation. Not only did he accomodate students with several differing levels of acting and improvisation experience, he made the whole experience comfortable and fun --- there was never a dull moment. I was so impressed at his ability to adapt his program to our needs and all the participants and myself just loved him...thanks " - Michelle V.
"As an Artistic Director, Will has a rare blend of dedication and intuition coupled with the ability to communicate goals clearly and concisely. I only wish these traits were shared by everyone in similar positions." - Evan M.
