testimonial from producer, Susana Meyers:

"I've had the pleasure of engaging Will Pomerantz as director and choreographer for two productions: George and Ira Gershwin's Of Thee I Sing in summer 2008, and Oscar Strauss' The Chocolate Soldier in summer 2010. The pieces were performed with live orchestra as part of Bard Summerscape. 

Both productions where a huge success with audiences and press. Will's work was impeccable."
