Testimonials
“Willie is a wonderful teacher. He is full of generous curiosity. This sets an example for his students, one of nonjudgmental inquiry. Whether he is working with the concepts of play writing or the breath of presence, his students invest with childlike abandon and move toward deeper understanding and fullness. Willie worked with over forty students from four different high schools. His workshop, which lasted a little over an hour, had students not only connecting with each other but also plumbing the elusive state of aliveness within performance. They loved his gentle touch and his specific directions.”
— T.W. Theatre Teacher, Hendersonville; NC
