PEOPLE SAY THE NICEST THINGS

 

LETTERS of RECOMMENDATION

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Sherri Allen. She is a consummate professional who brings great talent, good humor, and strong commitment to her work as an actor and teacher. Sherri receives rave reviews from audiences, directors, classroom teachers, and other actors. I look forward to working with Sherri again, and I recommend working with her to anyone seeking a creative, fun, professional theatre experience.” May 20, 2008

Maria Glanz, Artistic Director, Playwrights Project

 

"Sherri is a fantastic actor and brings her acting talents to her teaching, nurturing students in a positive and productive manner. Students have fun while learning, which deepens their understanding of the curriculum. Teachers' and students' responses to Sherri's teaching are glowing with praise. Top Qualities: Personable, High Integrity, Creative." Cecelia Kouma, Managing Director at Playwrights Project

“Sherri is an engaging and intuitive actor. I've seen her play a huge spectrum of characters, and she has a talent for bringing her roles to life. Although my favorites are her comedic roles, she's also a highly skilled dramatist as well, whether she's interpreting an ancient Greek tragedy, Shakespeare, or any of the numerous modern works in which I've seen her act. On a personal note, she's also very engaging and friendly, and incredibly intelligent, and I love having her as part of any cast, crew, or classroom I'm in.”  Ellen Lizzio, colleague at LEGOLAND California
