Testimonials

I really enjoyed the workshop, and I learned a lot. It was really informative to hear from Dawn Gray's perspective. We had time to dive deep into both acting practice and a separate industry discussion, but then use everything we learned for a final run-through of performances at the end. I would absolutely take it again!
