About Janet

Have the passion and desire to be an actor or do stand-up comedy...I did too!! I have been performing and perfecting my craft for over 30 years. I most recently taught No Fear Acting and Sketch Comedy classes at Florida Studio Theatre and acting classes at Beaver Island School in Michigan. My extensive actor training started at "Actors Institute" and graduated to comedy at "Second City" both located in my home town of Chicago. I have written, performed and directed several variety shows, been an active member in 8 different sketch comedy groups, performed stand-up comedy at comedy clubs around the country and have taught students of all ages. I can teach you one on one either dramatic or comedic acting. You can take just one class or really advance your skills by taking several classes. I will help bring out the actor that is lurking inside of you to become a more confident and outgoing person.

I love seeing my students get excited about acting and performing. Also with my help, I love seeing them excel as an actor!!

Teaching children at Beaver Island School, private one on one classes and adult acting/stand-up/sketch comedy at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota.

Several years of extensive dramatic acting classes at the Actors Institute and improv/sketch comedy classes at Second City Northwest.

I was lucky to have Janet as a teacher for No Fear Acting I, at FST. I had some acting experience, but had never really taken a class. Janet added so much insight and dimension to my performance! Her extensive experience and great instincts are a powerful combination and such a wonderful resource whether you are a beginner or a seasoned actor. The first things I noticed about Janet were her passion and her positive, contagious energy. She recognizes strengths immediately and helps her students build on those strengths. Janet is also a generous actor. She wants everyone to reach their full potential, tapping into emotions that will give the audience an honest and genuine performance. Janet is a wonderful teacher and has a real gift for bringing out the best in all kinds of personalities, from the shy student with stage fright, to the ham who loves the spotlight. You will be a better actor!

I took an intro acting class of 2 hours/week for 8 weeks. This was at a regional professional theatre that has an education program. This was not a methods or comparative styles class. What I got was strong, positive support, guidance in making corrections in my delivery and in the substance of my monologue: narrative vs conversational. This comes from Jan's long history on the stage, love of comedy and comedy skits. Her greatest joy is in seeing her students succeed and she certainly went the extra mile doing all she could to support students with a lack of confidence and giving shouts of praise for those who did an excellent job. She was always ready with suggestions to get the best audience response. This was my first acting class and I'd say I got what I needed to feel I could be a successful professional.
