Jagger
Your classes are easily the most fun and the most worthwhile acting lessons I've ever taken! The price of course is phenomenal - but really irrelevant. Above all else, the classes are both fun and valuable- a powerful combination! Your unbelievable level of energy- coupled with your perceptive and valuable observations and constructive feedback- tough, necessary but also nurturing- contribute to an atmosphere of learning which just blows away the competition. Other acting classes I've taken were relatively boring, usually with just a minimum time to perform - 5 minutes in a 3 hour class? - and were long on theory, short on execution. (Sometimes there was ALL theory and virtually little time devoted to actually acting.) In your classes we roll up our sleeves and get right to work learning how to become a character and tell the story, there is a maximum time for everyone to perform, which is great!- and when it's time to watch others, your feedback and guidance regarding their performances is so on-the -money (I think you're a f'n genius!) well, watching the other class members work on a scene and then perform has become a tremendously valuable - and very enjoyable learning experience.

Hey Jagger,
Just wanted to let you know how much this class meant to me. I have had a fear of performing live since my last time on stage but your writing, direction and genius knowledge of performance has given me a second wind. The entire experience was awesome. You challenged me to play characters outside my comfort zone and I thank you for it. Your ability to pull praise worthy performance out of an actors strengths and weakness's is truly brilliant. You are an awesome teacher and a comedic phenom. I am proud to have been able to work with you and I hope to one day get to work with you again. I'll end this by saying thank you for all I have learned.
