Jennifer not only has a great deal of talent and experience in the performing arts, she is also a talented teacher. She has a deep understanding of how the "human instrument" works and how to apply that knowledge, to bring out the best performance possible in her students.

Have an audition coming up that you want to 'nail'? Got a part in the school play or community theater and not sure what to do with it? Or do you know that you love acting and you're preparing for college or a move to NYC? I've been in this crazy acting business for 20 years. Wherever you are, I have been. I'd really enjoy helping you.

I am accepting students for private instruction in the following genres:

  • monologues
  • scene study
  • commercial
  • voice over
  • improvisation
  • script analysis
  • the business/marketing of the business

Lessons/classes will be structured but a lot of fun! Homework will be assigned and expected to be worked on in order to get the most out of the next session. Most lessons are 60 minutes. However, for children ages 6-12 and/or for adults on a tight budget or time frame, 30 minute lessons are available. Children can move to 60 min lessons based on focus, technique maturity and what they think would be most fun for them.

I do teach on weekends as well as weekdays. However, I have a strict 24 hour cancellation policy. It applies to me (the teacher) as well. :) Sometimes life throws us curve balls, but we need to be respectful of each other's #1 resource, time. During the lesson, if the lesson is for a child, the parent is more than welcome to have a cup of tea at my kitchen table while reading a book, or head out and run a few errands.
