"Working with Cynthia was easy, dynamic and an integral part of my process playing Medea. She has the exact tools to get you. right where you need to be from the very beginning of the process. I was able to accomplish an  authentic and organic sound that also served to trigger the world of the play. I cannot  wait to work with her again and again"
