"It is not an overstatement to say that Freehold has changed my life. I took my first class in 2006 and have taken more than fifteen classes since. I am now regularly auditioning and performing in plays and have had one of my own plays produced by a Freehold colleague. Beyond learning acting from basics to advanced scene work, Freehold has connected me to some of the finest teachers, actors and people in Seattle. I consider Freehold to be one of Seattle's most remarkable artistic and cultural resources."

"When I made the decision to dedicate myself to acting, I took a few classes around town where I learned some basic concepts, but I didn't feel like I advanced much beyond what I learned from my high school acting coach.  Everything changed and got real for me once I started training at Freehold. The talent level of Freehold's instructors is almost staggering- not just in the breadth of their experience and knowledge of their craft, but also in their abilities to guide and inspire their students. Freehold also provided something else that I had hoped to find in my journey: a common meeting place for a wonderfully supportive artistic community.  Freehold is a place where dreams can become a reality."

"Meisner for me was really transformational and not just for the acting but really just for the rest of my everyday life. Meisner really strives you to live in the moment and to react to things as if it is the first time, being genuine and authentic. I do some commercial work on the side and I’ve been told that there is a new quality to my acting and that is 100% related to the work from the class. There is another piece that I got out of Meisner which was unexpected which is that it actually changed the quality of my day to day life … it allowed me to be more present in my life … it makes life much more interesting."
