"My good fellows of the Rebel Shakespeare Company! You are my fellow rebels in the fight against corporate computer consumer commuter convenience! Keep speaking!"
--Mark Rylance, Director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London

"The transformation in my students was amazing! Just a few short moments into their very first class, my students--many of whom are learning English as a second language--were exchanging lines from plays and creating their own scenes. I saw a side of these kids that I never would have seen otherwise."
--Michael Molnar, principal, Harrington Elementary School

"Through the Rebel Shakespeare summer camp, weekend workshops and in-school residencies, kids wrestle with the deeper questions of life unfolding in Shakespeare's tales - and in their own charged lives."
-- The Boston Globe

"Honesty, truth and responsibility - these are the themes that course through Cahill's work and shape the kinds of programs she offers."
-- The Boston Globe

"The self-esteem they gives these kids! I can't do it. The therapy at school can't do it. They have a way of bringing out the best qualities all kids have."
--John Twombly, Director of Education, Solstice Schools

"My son, a man with no love of literature, adored his workshop with you. I consider this occurrence to be close to miracle proportions."
--Judith Black, storyteller
