Listen to what Professor Josh Chenard has to say about Ms. Chaulet: "I am so thrilled Emmanuelle will be leading workshops at VCU in November. Emmanuelle has directed me in several productions including the American Premiere of Xavier Durringer’s A Taste of the Killing on the Tip of the Tongue. We formed a succesful, New England based theatre company called Two Lights Theatre Ensemble in 2000, and Emmanuelle continues to direct, teach and act most recently in the award winning Sundowning directed by Jim Cole. She is an international film actress, an amazing director, an author, and a vibrant and giving teacher."
