Addie Saltz

"Addie is known as the 'actor whisperer'—a director with an uncanny ability to intuit what actors need, both in the moment and across the arc of a process. Her eye for talent is impeccable, her casting instincts razor-sharp, and her deep respect for the actor’s craft makes her a collaborator of the highest order. With her remarkable skill, taste, and emotional intelligence, there’s no question she has a brilliant future ahead."

Kim Weild, Area Chair, The John Wells Directing Program Carnegie Mellon University
"Addie is a talented young director who connects with actors and gets the best from them because she is an empathetic communicator and a leader. It is a pleasure to see her at work as she takes on every challenge with energy, intelligence and passion."

Andy Wolk, director and writer, Los Angeles, California
"I was lucky enough to have Addie Saltz assist me on the direction of King Lear at Santa Cruz Shakespeare. Her knowledge, insight and generosity were invaluable to me and to the production as a whole. She is terrifically talented and a joyful collaborator."

Paul Mullins, Director
