Testimonials:

"… A few writers in our Collective have studied with Brooke at various points in their development. Each has raved about her ability to bring them deeper, submerge them in their own history orwhatever they may wish to claim and manifest as their own. They resurface invigorated and able to get inside of their material more readily and more freely."

-- April Biggs, poet and director of The Biggs, a writing collective

"It is not axiomatic that a fine playwright make a fine teaching of playwriting, or any other kind of writing, for that matter. But Brooke brings the same sense of imagination, wonder and rigor to herwork as a teacher as her writing so clearly manifests."

-- Daniel Aukin, Artistic Director, Soho Rep Theater

"Brooke has a way of reaching students by working in a comfortable,relaxed and non-threatening atmosphere... (she) brings her full attention to her students and their world."

-- Lynda Cury, Educator and former Director of Education, MCC Theater
