Student Testimonials
“I loved exploring a new medium for theater that was really quite adaptable and easy to use. It gave me an opportunity to connect with people at a time when connection is difficult, and it reminded me that the arts and creativity can survive and often thrive in times of grief and challenge. Bravo!”
“Given that we can’t get together in person, this class and the way it was conducted did allow for some experiments with the technology and getting the ensemble feeling.”
“Loved the group of actors and it was full of great tools to use for auditions!”
“It was a new dimension to practice my acting skills. Scene Acting in “zoom” challenges you to be creative about your physicality as well as facial expressions in a tight box space.”
“Into our challenging surreal world you brought the power, solace, insight and humor of theater!”
“As a mother it was nice to take this class in the comfort of my own home, I was able to hear the teacher very clearly and I could see all the actors in the class and give them my full attention.”
“I love taking classes and being with other actors. I very much enjoyed this class, the instructor, and my classmates.”
“The class was a terrific success. You did a great job of making this work remotely. Though the class never met in person, your engaging questions to start the sessions help us to feel connected and safe. Well done.”
