    Joanie Coyote was wonderful and insightful. She gave me some of the best and most useful notes I've ever received from a director or teacher. She never put me down and never poked fun of any of us. She's a pro and you can feel it when she talks to you. She empathizes with how vulnerable we are up there and made us all feel like we really could/can do this seemingly impossible task of "getting up and doing 5 minutes". Oh, and she taught me how to write a joke.... And a whole bunch of other stuff you need to know before you step on that stage. I loved the class and I think Ms. Coyote is exceptional.

    I enjoyed the class very much. Much of what was discussed, I already knew, but there would be no way the instructor would know that ahead of time. The instructor did mention a possible 6 week long course on sitcom writing. I think that would be a great addition to the coursework offered. Thank you. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
