References and Testimonials

  • Zach Giardine has been one of the most dedicated and capable theatre students I have worked with in my career as a drama educator. From the moment he became involved in our productions, Zach distinguished himself not only through his passion for the dramatic arts, but through his exceptional reliability, initiative, and leadership behind the scenes. He consistently took on demanding technical and managerial roles with professionalism well beyond his years.

  • I had the pleasure of collaborating with Zach when he designed the lights for 'Sister Sophia Kicks the Habit' at the Edinburgh Fringe. Zach brings fresh creative ideas and a great sensitivity to the story being told which added so many colours to the story. It was a sincere pleasure to act under his subtle and creative lighting design. I would work with him again in a heartbeat as his communication, team playing and passion for theatre brought so much to the project.

  • Zach’s passion for theatre is matched by a genuine commitment to education and youth development. He understands the transformative power of the arts in building confidence, communication skills, and community, and he approaches mentorship with thoughtfulness and responsibility. I have no doubt that Zach will be an exceptional educator, using theatre not only as an artistic discipline but as a powerful tool for learning, growth, and self-discovery.

    Jacelyn Lambert, Nelson High School Drama Teacher

  • Working with Zach has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His dedication to the work is absolutely unmatched and I am so grateful to have gotten the chance to have him work on my show both as a stage manager and as a lighting designer. Zach never fails to go above and beyond to help wherever he can on a production and to support the show in any way he can. His work ethic is exceptional and I hope to work with him again in the future.

His ability to integrate his knowledge and experience into his work is truly commendable. I hold Zach in such high regard that I recently offered him an Assistant Stage Manager (ASM) position with our new Junior Broadway Productions Project.”
