*
"Leighza does a marvelous job of maintaining the artistic integrity of the playwright's intention while also allowing the actors to flourish as talented and creative beings." ~ Randi Hall
*
"As an actor, working with Leighza Walker was an eye opening experience. Leighza not only takes the time to ask the actors to delve deep into their characters, she also is very curious in the actor's input, and also lets the actor take the time to create real depth in a character. Leighza is very professional in doing so and is also fun to work with. She has a great sense of humor, which definitely lightens the mood in a rehearsal, enabling that actor to not be afraid to take risks. She's one of the best director's I've ever worked with in my career as an actor, ever!" ~ Candyce Prince

"Leighza allows your creativity to shine while identifying and utilizing your strengths, collaborating with you to create an authentic and unique character." ~ Sara Jo Dunstan

"It has been my experience that a vast majority of "directors" I have worked with or seen work merely stage a production, gathering credits like an opera singer collecting roles. Leighza Walker really directs a show, concerning herself not only with the physical aspects of building shows but dealing with the nuances and processes needed to gain artistic and growth oriented performances." ~ Ricky Welch

"What a privilege to work with Leighza Walker who invites collaboration while pushing you to find the boldest choices!" ~ Karen Schlag
