Testimonials

Daphnee McMaster is a unique talent I had the good fortune to work with when she directed a reading of my full-length play, Rebuilding Ra.  As a director, she manages to combine empathy for the actors’ positions with a clear vision of the story’s direction.  Her secret is the depth of her insight.  She understands the tricky maneuvers required of an actor to land in the stream of action engaging the rest of the story.  She also understands the layers of a story and the entry points for different roles.  I am grateful for how she helped me see more potential and depth to my work.  I learned from her new ways to develop the dramatic effects I had only instinctively introduced, helping me to develop something deeper–more humor,  truth and poignancy–beyond the surface of what I had created.  She is an effective creative leader and collaborator.  I truly admire her skills.
