"The real bonus with Jeff is his insight into the craft
of acting. Bennett has clearly digested most of what's
in print on the subject and distilled it down to a
startlingly clear system."

-- D. B. Sweeney, actor in such films as Brother Bear,
Dinosaur, Memphis Belle, Eight Men Out, and, of course,
The Cutting Edge, as well as Broadway, Off-Broadway,
and television.

"Jeff Bennett is not a one trick teacher. There is
never one answer to an acting problem in Bennett's
class. I still use the tools I learned in his classes in
my job today."

-- Allysa Adams, TV reporter

"Unending enthusiasm! He created a real professional
atmosphere during productions. His love for the piece
was always catching."

-- Jennifer Casey-Cabot, soprano with New York City
Opera, The Washington Opera, San Diego Opera, Boston
Lyric Opera, Opera Festival of New Jersey, and Opera
Company of Philadelphia, among others.

"I would happily match Jeff Bennett against any of
the vaunted acting teachers in Manhattan anytime."

-- Tom Fischer

"It all comes down to having the courage to be
honest and instinctual, to trust yourself and allow
yourself to play, to just focus and be. That's what
Jeff taught me."

-- Jackie Geary, actress

"Having never acted before, I joined Jeff’s class to
gain skills and increased confidence for public speaking
in business. To my surprise, the atmosphere of Jeff’s
program released and nurtured an actor hidden deep
within me. You walk into the class for the first time and
soon realize that your are among students returning
for the 4th or 5th time. They’re hooked on Jeff’s style
and approach to creating believable performances. "

-- Christopher Tully

"Jeff Bennett has really started something!
Bare Bones Theater Company is an ever-changing
group of players that explores new acting techniques
and translates them into vibrant performances under
Jeff's masterful direction."

-- Charlotte Koons

"Jeff's joy and passion for the theater continue to
inspire me to this day."

-- Karen Sillas, actress known for her diverse roles on stage,
in independent films and on television, including Under
Suspicion, The Sopranos, The Other Side, and more.

"I'd never set foot on a stage before entering Jeff's program -- never even thought to -- but after just
one class I knew I was hooked. Jeff has a way of
making even a complete beginner feel totally at ease,
and he draws out talents and skills you never knew
you had."

-- Frank Zinghini, actor

"One of the reasons that I enjoy Jeff's classes so
much, is the welcoming atmosphere--which reminds
one more of a family gathering than of formal
instruction. Secondly, his 'take it off the page' approach has
helped me tremedously in auditioning.

-- Christine Nelson, actor and teacher

dream about one day having. He can put any willing
actor on a track to pure artistic growth."

-- Ben Intonato, actor and teacher

"As a person who never had the nerve to get up in
front of people to speak I must say that taking Jeff's
class has given me the courage to let myself go and
be the person that I am today. I enjoyed the class as
much as the students that joined me in it."

-- Stephen Shelowitz
