Kyanna's Testimonial

"This past Saturday, I attended an A.R.R.T./NewAf.Co./A.B. Acting Workshop, and it was well worth my time invested. I learned more than I did in another course of acting classes. If you are beginner and you are looking for an acting work shop, A.R.R.T./NewAf.Co./A.B. Acting Workshops is the place to go invest your acting money in. The teachers are great, friendly, helpful, and honest with their opinion. Based on my experience, you will walk out of there feeling you did the right thing. I didn't want anyone to miss out not giving this a chance."

Paul's Testimonial

"Born and Mariko are excellent teachers! For a complete novice like I am, they made me feel completely welcome. Very informative one-day workshop. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the nuts and bolts of acting and the basic tool chest actors work with."

Tom's Testimonial

"I am lucky enough to be working with Mariko and have been for sometime now and most recently with Born. Mariko had given me the opportunity to join ARRT, which was my first experience in theatre. She has taught me so much and given me confidence, while creating a fun and safe environment to do so! Working with Born has been a great experience, too! I'm learning more about the process of reading a script, developing a character and having fun in that process! I can share my ideas and prospective which again helps to build confidence as an actor. Working with Mariko and Born has been a lot of fun! They are passionate about what they do, embrace diversity in the group, and it shows!"
