Tom Gallagher, Writer "Suffering Man's Charity," "Government Cheese"
Joan's lab introduced me to a brave new world as a writer, that of the actor. It's the actor's world where the writing is made real and to understand and embrace that world is to become a better writer.

Joan's influence on my work as a writer will resonate for the rest of my career. Whenever in doubt, I always return to what she taught me - and what she taught me elevates my writing every time.
