  • "Jo and Darien were so supportive! They encouraged us throughout the process and taught us various things about acting, stages, and this industry. I definitely became more comfortable acting on stages after experiencing shows with them. They made a space for us to connect with other actors and give us the opportunities to perform with them again! It is a tough world but A Sketch of New York is a very actor-friendly production. Would love to work with them again!"

I was skeptical of my abilities and daunted by the idea of learning lines, just walking into the lights, all of it... Thanks to the love and encouragement and sheer talent of Jo & Darien, I discovered the camaraderie and generosity of theater folk. I am grateful for the chance of self-discovery, and buckets of plain 'ol fun! Curtain up: magic time!"

  • “Undoubtedly destined to be taught in lofty academic institutions to demonstrate the dichotomy between art as a means of conveying meaning and art for art’s sake…but you don’t have to worry about all that… the superb actors ensure the hilarity rolls on and the high brow debate can wait for apres theater drinks and discussion.”
