"There is no limit in learning to act, eventually it
becomes so much a part of you that you actually start
to feel different...you grasp it in a different way...and
your performance holds so much truth. Jeff brings
that out in you, he feeds the process, then makes sure
your heart is really in it."

"My experience with the Bare Bones Theater opened
the door to so many opportunities. In my "real life"
I play a management role at a local car dealership
and Bare Bones gave me the opportunity to showcase
my acting talents in a soon-to-be-released independent
film. I would recommend the Bare Bones program
to anyone who wants to have fun while also building confidence through the art of acting. The instructor,
Jeff Bennett, along with the students I worked with
were integral in teaching me lessons that I
couldn't have learned anywhere else..."
