Circle provided me with the strong base of fundamentals and diversity of training that has enabled me to work with actors of all techniques and media. It all comes back to Circle.

Attending Circle in the Square was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I left with the tools I needed to tackle any role, and now I use those tools every day. I highly recommend Circle's program to anyone who is serious about making acting their career.

I will always give credit to Circle for the advancement in my craft that grants me the opportunity to work. I remember when I did my first scene of my first year and Alan Langdon said "If this was a performance, then I guess you did just that, but that's not what we do here." That's when I knew I was in for a long journey...a journey toward me.

Studying at Circle, I found that the fences were brought down and I was confronted with my reality. I learned acceptance; I learned my limits; and more importantly I learned to utilize my capacities and energies for acting through hard work and discipline…qualities absolutely necessary for any actor.

The incredible faculty of Circle in the Square Theatre School gave me the tools to handle any kind of work that comes my way. Their dedication to the work and the passion with which they teach help take your craft to another level. The difference between when I walked through the doors at the beginning of my first year, and when I walked out, certificate in hand, is a testament to the intensity and depth of this program.

The greatest asset that Circle in the Square provides to its students is the exposure to so many different methods and techniques offered by the teachers. The actor learns what does, and sometimes more importantly doesn't, work for them in order to create an individual and unique approach to the work. In addition, the chance to work in actual functioning Broadway Theatre, surrounded by working industry professionals, is invaluable.

I was doing an Off Off Broadway show six months after graduating from Circle. There was a moment in the show when the lights went down on me during an intense exchange. I had to freeze in place for a couple of minutes before the lights came back up and the scene continued. It was during this frozen stage time that I heard the words in my head. "Intensify. Build it. Just because you're still doesn't mean you're not alive." They were the words of my Circle physical acting instructor, Moni Yakim. Right then, I knew those two years at Circle had been worth it.
