“Carol Hickey is one of the most naturally gifted people I have ever had the privilege and distinct pleasure of working with. She has, above and beyond normal, a natural child-like innocence, an unlimited imagination, and a vulnerability that has no boundaries. Anyone who has the good fortune to work with Carol, in any capacity, is truly privileged and on track to develop into becoming an actor of stature. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline, but with Carol as a guide, example, and mentor you are well on your way.”
-Harry Mastrogeorge

“Carol’s class created a safe space for me to explore the deeper truths of my own emotional life. She grants you the opportunity to ALLOW the craft to move through you — not to manipulate it. She has a way of teaching that both comforts and challenges you all at once. Her passion for the craft relit my own passion.“
-Sydney Chandler - Aliens Earth
