Acting Out

Laura Hairston

Acting Out was just what my daughter needed to prepare for high school auditions. The team at Acting Out are experienced, highly-trained, but know how to make everything meaningful and fun!

JUST AN AMAZING PLACE🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 My son attended Acting Out from Kindergarten until his acceptance for high school. Ms. Roberta is the best! The whole staff is very professional and knowledgeable about the requirements of the arts field. A big family that will help guide you and your child through middle schools and high schools auditions. Or even for just the fun of learning acting and singing. THANK YOU Acting Out Family ❤️

Roberta, John and the staff at AO are in one word “Amazing” If you are interested in pursuing training in drama, vocals or broadway theater either beginner or very advanced there is simply no better place to be. The instruction is professional, serious and there is “no fluff” on the recommendations being told to you. The progress Roberta made with my son in one short year is beyond any expectation I could have even dreamed of. I’m honestly not a fan of giving online reviews, as a matter of fact this is my first but because I hold acting out in such high esteem, I felt compelled to do so. No matter where you live, the five boroughs or NJ I give Acting Out my highest and most sincere recommendation.

My daughter attended Acting Out for high school audition prep and received offers to all of her top choices (Laguardia, Frank Sinatra) but even if she hadn’t, I would write this glowing review because Roberta and John are THE BEST. I’m actually not sure how they do it, they’re enormously personally invested in each individual kid in the program and go above and beyond in so many ways. My daughter, Tierney, grew exponentially as an actor and vocalist this year - honestly a shocking amount. She loved every minute of her time at Acting Out and became close friends with all of her classmates. Acting Out feels like a family, it's a family business with heart backed up by a truly thorough knowledge of craft and technique. They make sure the kids feel fully supported and cared for all the time and they individualize support for your unique kid. Full disclosure, I’m also an actor and can assure you that Roberta and John are the kind of coaches you find once in a lifetime - they’re mentors. They’re the kind of teachers you thank in your Oscar speech 20 years later for setting you on the path, believing in you and pushing you to the edge of your abilities. They’re wonderful. Thank you Roberta and John!
