These helped my acting ability by allowing myself to deeply understand and connect with the character, rather than only reading their lines.” This year as a freshman, Darius was cast in the male ensemble for the production of Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical. Aly Fogel “My favorite part of private lessons was the one on one attention that I didn’t get from my acting classes. In a class, you don’t get to choose your own material or get the same kind of individualized feedback that you can get from private lessons. “I prepared the monologue with Ms. Lisa and ended up doing really well at my audition. Not only did I get the part I wanted, but my director said as soon as she saw my monologue she knew she wanted to cast me as the role. I couldn’t have done it without her help!” Pivaronas.
