“It was all I could ever ask for in a workshop. They taught us so many techniques for getting the right job and what to do when things go wrong. They were so nice and friendly and it was a great atmosphere.”

Feedback from past Jumpstart attendees:

“It gave us real life experiences that we can't learn in our classrooms back at school. What I liked the most about the workshop was how down to earth everyone was, rather than scaring us with stories of being in the city they advised us what to watch out for. It was more of a mentoring session than a workshop, and what could be better than that!”


“It's always great to get the little tips of "things I wish I'd known" from actors who have learned by trial and error.”


“It was really great to see a group of accomplished theater artists, who are all friends, doing this really awesome program together. The comradery exhibited made me think of my own circle of friends - so it was really inspiring to think that that could be us in five or ten years.”


“There is nothing more inspiring or more helpful than meeting other theatre professionals and speaking with them face to face. Each of the actors involved in the workshop took time to speak to us individually and made themselves available outside of the workshop.”
