“What a great experience having Flori direct me in the one act at the theater barn! She really helped me to find the essence of my character. Visually she created the perfect scene. The great thing about Flori is her creative insight into the process, her ability to convey that to her actors, all the while being respectful of our talent and time. Looking forward to working with her again!”

“Flori is nothing short of amazing! She was my theatre director for 3 years in high school, and her passion and love for the arts is what helped me grow as an actor and become more comfortable performing on stage. If you have the opportunity too work with Flori, take it! You won’t regret it!”

"When I was a freshman, I decided to audition for the fall play, One Flew over the cuckoo’s nest. I was nervous and anxious when I walked into the audition, but that was the first time I met Flori Doyle, who was the director, of course.
From that moment, I think it’s fair to say my life completely changed from that one experience because if it we weren’t Ms. Doyle, I would most likely not be pursuing a career in theatre. Doyle did not only direct but she was my mentor. She motivated and inspired me to pursue acting just as she has inspired so many other students to pursue this type of profession in her many years at Ardsley. After her retirement from Ardsley, I have always kept in touch with her, and she has continued as my acting teacher over the years, for which I am very grateful. One of the great aspects of what she did in Ardsley was building the Drama Club up to be what it now is. The Drama Club has such a strong voice and force in this school because of what she did."

"Flori is a phenomenal acting teacher who pushes you to connect with your character on multiple levels. She really helps you learn and experience the world of your character so that you can fully play your character’s intention. Flori gives straight-forward feedback that challenges you while maintaining an explorative learning environment. She goes above and beyond as an acting teacher and mentor. "

"Learning from Flori was a pleasure and a monumental help kickstarting my acting career. I recommend her to all of my friends who are looking for a coach, acting class or help in any way with their acting careers."
