Testimonials

Sarafina (Vecchio) is a great teacher. She made Shakespeare fun and accessible. I appreciated her incredible and infectious enthusiasm for Shakespeare, and the care with which she chose monologues for myself and my classmates. Her suggestions were thoughtful and helpful and led me to make choices and take risks I may not have in the past. Thanks for such a fun class! (Shakesplay! Scene Study)

This class was truly my first exposure to acting besides just watching TV. [I was] super nervous and already feeling like I wouldn’t fit in. Sarafina Vecchio was very kind and friendly and really helped me break out of my shell, I can’t express how grateful I am to have had her as an instructor. (Grades 9-12: Acting for Teens)
