International actor and director Dr. Jerry Jaffe is now offering private acting classes in the Lake County area. Dr. Jaffe has acted and directed professionally in Japan and New Zealand, as well as around the United States. He currently teaches acting and theatre at Lake Erie College in Painesville. He has also taught at the University of Otago in New Zealand, Tsukuba University in Japan, as well as Bowling Green State University and the University of Toledo.<BR>
Gain the benefit of private acting classes, including the creativity and fun of this art form. Private lessons allow both the instructor and the student to focus on what is really needed. We set personal goals and work together to attain them. This includes a high-level of personal attention and the opportunity to focus on the details of your work. Lessons are usually 45 minutes, and may be one-on-one or small group. <BR>
