“Adam’s class is one of my favorites because of its unique formula. You begin with a Meisner exercise, which catapults you into the present moment and primes your listening. He then challenges you to go deeply into material you’ve only had your eyes on for twenty four hours, which sharpens how quickly you can interpret and personalize text, a crucial skill for auditioning and working on set. Adam’s class is filled with phenomenal, passionate actors and is a safe place to stretch and play. I high recommend it.”
— Travis Van Winkle (Road House, FUBAR, The Last Ship)
