"Maggie was my instructor for four months of audition-based musical improvisation performances at MCL Chicago. She maintained cast communications, coordinated stage and rehearsal spaces, and provided poignant feedback to the actors and musicians involved. She came to rehearsals with intended performance plans and provided an overall forecast of what we could expect during the run. I would love to work with Maggie again!" Sydney Clinton, After Party Improv--Chicago

"I was privileged to have auditioned Maggie Goodman a number of times in Chicago, and I was always impressed by her improv skills and content generation. Her ability to draw laughter out of her personal experience put her in an elite group of comic writers with heart, and it's to my chagrin that we were not able to work more closely during her time in the Midwest. She's a true talent and not to be missed on stage or in a writers' room!" Joe Ruffner, Second City Theatricals

"I have worked with Maggie Goodman in the Chicago comedy community. You would be hard pressed to find a more creative, hardworking, or more pleasant individual. Maggie is a true joy." Claire Linic, author of We Fought About It blog, Awkward Phase, and Our Perfect Marriage
