"Matt Grinter’s direction of the actors in his graduate show of Orphans was fine, detailed, and intelligent. He is a director to look out for"

“I have worked with Matt on two separate occasions and have found him to be bullet proof and enthusiastic. Next time I have a production about to begin, he will literally be the first person I call and I hope that he is free to come back and work for us again”
