He is Splinter to all us Ninja Turtles.- Joel Bernbaum Sum Theatre Christopher Weddell is with me wherever I go. And when I say this, I mean he teaches his students tools in which they can use for their work in Shakespeare, theatre, film and television. His process of work is very detailed but still very efficient. He pushes his students to commit to the character and story that needs to be told. During the difficult times where I thought to give up on a scene or story, Christopher did not. I am forever thankful for his guidance and knowledge- Louriza Tronco (Star of Nickolodeon's Make It Pop) I have worked with Christopher many times. His depth of understanding helps you to find truth in your work and to truly appreciate and love the text. - Dr. Yvette Lu I want to thank him for putting me on a path I don't think I would have found on my own. And, for fostering a passion in me.- Kayvon Kelly (Bard On The Beach) The Clubhouse Child Care Center 839 Sutherland Avenue events@kelownanow.com
