What Students are Saying
I love working with Brooke! She is an amazing teacher! She creates a super supportive environment, and she is a ton of fun. I've learned a ton from her, and I recommend her classes to any actor (new or experienced). They are a great place to learn, grow, and also make great acting friends. Check her out. You'll love her : ))
Adam DunlapBrooke is a phenomenal instructor and talent. She has provided me with some of the most valuable tools in performance and has helped me build confidence in life. An excellent coach, mentor, and teacher. One of the absolute best anywhere.
James HartenfeldRarely will you find an environment that is so friendly and welcoming while also so conducive to self-discipline and growth. I've taken acting classes my entire life and this is maybe the first that's made me feel like I'm working toward mastering my craft. You can always expect honest feedback from Brooke as well as a genuine care for your well-being. Working with her has reaffirmed my desire to continue acting, my drive to openly embrace challenge, and the need for creative ambition in my day-to-day. Well worth the investment for actors of all ages and experience.
