TESTIMONIALS

"Cat Parker helped me to bridge the gap between the classroom and professional production. Her instruction is precise and derived from her experience with what really works for the working theatre professional."
-- Ed Campbell


Cat Parker is a  talented director who works beautifully with actors, skillfully honing in on their individual needs in order to extract  terrific performances.
-- Colette Freedman

“Cat is uniquely tuned into the complications of being human and fallible -- people, relationships, conflict, all that juicy stuff that drives the playwright, excites the actor and titillates the audience. And the more the playwright and actors bring to the table, the better. She knows when to sit back and let the actors have at it, but (and this is important) she's always ready with that razor-sharp observation that makes the actors think, "Oooh, I get it!" that ratchets the stakes up to the next delicious level.”
-- Ellen Reilly

“I had been rehearsing a scene for 4 months to audition at the “Actor's Studio" with, when I began working with Cat Parker. Her instruction took a scene that I thought had been explored in it's entirety to a fuller, more thought out and layered level that I couldn't have imagined on my own. She is a valuable resource to anyone who would be wise enough to seek her council.”
--Victor Joel Ortiz

“I've had the privilege to work with Cat Parker on 3 productions, one of which, Twelfth Night, landed me the 2009 NYIT Award for Outstanding Actor in a Lead Role. Through her commitment, guidance and inspiration I was able to give my best in those roles. Cat is an actors’ director.”
-- Julian Elfer

“Cat Parker is invaluable to me in analyzing a script, not only in its meaning, but where I as an actor can take it. Her intelligence and humanity combined are exactly what is needed to find the character and story. Recently, working with Cat in preparation for a Broadway audition, Cat's intuition, knowledge and expertise brought my understanding of the character and the play to a level I could not have achieved without her guidance. In short, I will never prepare for an audition without her.
