TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS

“I have wanted to experience real teaching for years. I tried everything offered within a two hour driving distance. None of it approaches what Arriella and Mr. Bullard delivered. Mr. Bullard was superb - knowledgeable, prepared, attentive, and upbeat. He treated each person in the workshop with respect and affection. I came away with new thoughts, new insights, and a completely refreshed sense of inspiration. Many, many thanks.”

“I had a fantastic time working with Dexter and the other actors. It was an environment of unrestricted creativity, kindness and teamwork which are several of the reasons why I love acting. Dexter genuinely loves theater and has a very clear, intelligent and non-judgmental approach to teaching.”
