TESTIMONIALS:
"I had the pleasure of working with Carly for The Red Letter Project, and it was one of the more informative artistic experiences of my adult career. There is a deftness and attentiveness she has for her performers, and the pieces she pours herself into, that brings the hardest of works to life. She moves with an honest understanding that makes it easy to play and create uninhibited work."
- A'raelle Flynn-Bolden, Actor
"Carly working on a project means you will have the best opportunity to be heard and have a safe space. She encourages respect, boundaries and open dialogue, offering the most comfortable place to take big changes and explore artistically. I worked on a very personally challenging piece with Carly, which included several sexual situations. Sensing my hesitation, Carly immediately opened a dialogue about my concerns and helped my communicate my worries in a comfortable way."
- Sophie Green, Actor & Director
"I have had the privilege of working with Carly, leading traumatized children of widely varied ages in a program of theatre games, collaborate exercises and artistic projects. She is a wise, enthusiastic and carefully sensitive artist, and trainer of artists."
- Mark Hein, Artistic Director Actaeon Players
