What people are saying...
Responses from others in the creative community
Eileen Dixon,
Co-Artistic Director at Redtwist Theatre
"Ella is a rising artist with a great energy and dedication to her craft. She clearly values collaboration and ensemble-building. Ella is a great artist to have in the room."
James R. Wilke,
Emmy Award-Winning Director
"Contemporary, cool, and creepy... These words come to mind when experiencing Ella's writing. The action in her stories tends to fall definitely out of the ordinary, yet her characters feel real and complex. Ella is an outside-the-box thinker who takes creative risks. And her instincts succeed, as seen by how much audiences and fellow creatives respond to her work."
Amanda Wright,
Sandbox Collective
"As both a writer and a director, Ella is creative, professional, and always makes sure everyone in the room feels like a collaborator. She is committed to fostering a safe environment for other artists to do their best work, and she brings enthusiasm and poise to each step of the process. I am so eager to witness the continued blossoming of her career in Chicago and beyond!"
