"This is the most honest work you will ever do. As soon as you begin this class, you realize it is unlike any other acting class. Here you don’t learn to “act”, you learn to live truthfully moment to moment. Having previously taken a smorgasbord of acting classes, I was looking to be challenged and in Doug’s class I was challenged everyday. To be an actor you must want to have a creative epiphany. In Doug Farwell’s class you will have that epiphany. I feel a bit envious of the actors for whom this work lies ahead.”
