I'm just so glad this class exists! The scenes were fantastic and I really appreciated the the wide variety across the whole class.  An absolute delight!  I really enjoyed being surrounded by fellow queer performers. - Anonymous Queer Advanced Scene Study Student

It was a lovely collaborative experience!  I got introduced to a bunch of new people, new plays and got to work on some great material!

I loved the invitation to play! Thanks for creating a safe space!

Mikael is a gem! His directing style made me find new choices every time.  His feedback was actionable and specific, yet he left room for discovery and actor's agency.

I really appreciated Linda’s feedback and suggestions. (Contemporary Monologue) Also, she did a great job choosing monologues for everyone. I love my new monologues

Loved the class! ( Linda Gillum - Contemporary Monologue) Gained some excellent insight and feel much more prepared for future auditions.

I not only learned two pieces (in Linda Gillum's Contemporary Monologue class) that I can use going forward, but I also learned a framework I can apply to any monologue.

Thank you for the amazing class experience with Brian (Plocharczyk). He is a true professional--organized, perceptive, both clear and kind, and generous in sharing his knowledge. Getting to spend time at CRC and with an agent was invaluable. Thanks to Brian, and thanks to the Acting Studio Chicago for providing such an excellent resource.

Working with Kurt Naebig has been transformative. His insight into text, character, and emotional truth is on another level. He has a gift for helping you find the heartbeat of a piece. His gift is the nuance that makes a performance truly memorable. Every session leaves me feeling challenged, inspired, and more confident in my craft. If you’re serious about leveling up your monologue work, he’s the one.

On the last day of Matt Miller's workshop, I had a callback and two days later booked a commercial! Being in class gives me extra joy and momentum- I don't think it's a coincidence I booked right after taking Matt's class and working my audition muscles in real life with an awesome community!
