No one can begin to know the impact Angela has had on my family. She approached my daughter in a museum one day and asked her if she would like to be in a play. Our lives were forever changed from that moment. Angela has truly brought out the best in my daughter. Her passion and commitment has not only inspired my daughter but at times , consoled her. Angela’s constant words of encouragement are balanced by her no holds barred approach to Shakespeare. She demands the best of these kids and time after time they deliver. She never coddles them or insults their intelligence by being soft on them when she knows they can do better. My daughter has reached new heights and her confidence has soared because Angela has always told her how much she believes in her. Shakespeare can seem daunting but when you are a part of a production you almost learn by osmosis. Just by being there for rehearsals you glean so much. I can’t tell you how enriched my life has become now that Shakespeare and Angela are a part of it.

She IS passionate about Shakespeare and it rubs off. I love the way she clarifies myths/false teachings regarding Shakespeare in her presentations. And she is such a nice person. I look forward to listening to her again! Thanks for sharing her with us.

We do not have the honor or privilege of living close to Angela. However she, as you said, is very giving and graced us with her presence her in Cedar a few years ago. Those who were fortunate enough to be in the class she gave, have been changed forever. My daughter was one of them. Everything that was modeled for them was a learning curve, both in class and out. The way Angela lives breaths, eats, and most importantly, shares Shakespeare, is inspiring. The way she treats all her children, her husband and total strangers is both inspiring and transformational.You are fortunate to have her. Do not miss her at the FATJEF!
