  • "My favorite moments with Sebree as a director were those where we got to really make the show our own. Whenever we as a cast and Sebree as a director disagreed, we were not shut down and we did not clash, but instead we found compromise. we as actors got to have a role in forming his vision while simultaneously being vessels for his vision."

  • "Mr.Sebree is genuinely a master of comedy and comedic timing. I found versions of myself that I hadn't expected to on stage, and Sebree let me push myself to my limits in a way that I never would have been able to do without him."

  • "This process was super wonderful, this has been my favorite DYP experience to date. Mr. Sebree has been super fun, but also focused on the process. Despite being in stressful situations right before we went onto the show, he was exceptionally calm and it made the process less stressful for everyone. Additionally, he really makes sure to include the students' opinions and ideas into the final product. Throughout the development of this show I was always comfortable with voicing my opinion and never felt like this wasn't a safe space. Overall, amazing director and teacher."
