"...she's thoughtful, professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with."
--Angie Hays, Executive Director, North Carolina Theatre Conference
"Karen’s one of the best professors I’ve ever had. She made class exciting to come to while also doing it in a way where we learned new material and methods of thinking each and every class. Her enthusiasm of theatre was contagious and made a newcomer to the arts like me feel included. I was very hesitant to take Playscript Analysis as I didn’t have a theatrical background, but there was never once where I felt that impaired me in class. This was largely due to Karen’s inclusivity when it came to class activities, assignments and the like. If I could I would gladly take every theatre class with her!"
--Tariq Silver, undergraduate, UNCG
Thank you so much for being such a funny, loving, and extraordinary professor. Your class was always a new adventure for me.
--Jada Holloman, UNCG

She is well equipped yet willing to learn. She is committed to inclusivity and telling diverse stories through theatre." --Willa Bost, freelance AEA actor (Broadway productions of Purlie Victorious & Our Town)
