Sarah was the first professor I had in person, but I was treated like an actual student rather than being considered new. Class was given an agenda for each day that varied enough to keep engaged. Scene work given to us in ways that each role was given in a way that was challenging but still exciting. Sarah also talks to us as people outside class

THAR 10A was better than I could have hoped for my first college acting class. Prof. Wintermeyer gives great directions that I really think made me a better actor. She is clear about expectations and grades and is easy to talk to if you need help. She also helped our class bond so we could learn from each other as an ensemble too. Highly recommend!

Great teacher, a lot of fun. It's a class where you have to participate but mostly participation is for games. She won't force you to talk in group settings. There is a test after every chapter, you can't make tests up if you miss them. She has a late policy. You have a week or so to turn stuff in and after that its 20%. Extra credit is Offered.

I took this professor for the semester show and it was amazing. While tough, you can tell that it is because she has such a care for her students and her craft. Amazingly talented and stunningly kind, working with her was such a treat. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do!

By far the best director of any show I've ever been in. Her creative vision, and drive for greatness is inspiring. This show has left me feeling like we've left our own mark on the canon of this musical.
