"Johanna is an ACTOR'S director if there ever was one. She speaks our language. She knows how to get down in the trenches with us and excavate the best performance we are capable of. All while creating a beautifully crafted show from top to bottom. She is fun, thoughtful, present and creates an atmosphere where everyone can show up and do their best work."
John Krause -Actor, Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast)
"Johanna is a director who truly understands the collaborative process. My work has always benefitted from her thoughtful notes and honest feedback. When working on my one woman show, The Chat and Chew Supper Club, Johanna served as both a director and acting coach, helping me evolve as both a performer and as a writer."
"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Johanna Pinzler on many of my concerts and readings/workshops where I watched her get bold, daring, honest, funny, powerful and poignant performances out of top-notch Broadway and West End performers. Johanna’s mix of passion, knowledge, collaboration, storytelling ability, and a soothing sense of humor makes her the complete package, ready and willing to create greatness. "
"Johanna was one of my coaches for graduate school auditions and I ended up having my pick of graduate schools including the National Theatre Conservatory where I was one of eight people accepted. I am always impressed by Johanna’s intelligence and artistry as well as her ability to get the best out of everyone – and all with grace and wit."
