Reviews:
“As a director, I found her prepared, focused and yet flexible. Cassandra was invariably good humored, enthusiastic and productive. Throughout the entire time she worked with our theatre troupe, she was very open to new ideas, very easy to engage in discussions concerning production aspects, and an excellent and active listener.... I enjoyed all the work she has done for us. She was able to not only balance being an actor but being the prop designer/ master. She was able to create many wonderful professional looking props for us on a small budget. I had the pleasure to personally use some of these props and was amazed with the quality and usability of them. In fact, I have a few of them on display in my home”
