"And Mimi Kennedy's beautifully rendered Chicagoan accent, credited to dialect coach Joel Goldes, is icing on the cake."

-- Backstage, 'The lady with all the answers'

Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, reviewing Love Among the Ruins at the El Portal Theatre, said of Joel's dialect coaching, “Everyone is English…and so am I. So I was prepared for the worst, accent wise. I was happily wrong! Everyone was pretty perfect actually, including the stars of this wonderful show, Jobeth Williams and Peter Strauss. Stars in their own right and both absolutely riveting as these long-lost lovers."
