Chris Thatcher Acting Studio

"After studying under Chris for over a year in both group in-person, online and one-on-one classes I found his application and knowledge of the Meisner Technique to be both insightful and constructive.  He sees past the person and directly into their potential and blocks.  Chris' attention to detail, ability to break down a scene, drive for authentic preparation and suggestions to improve character depth are both instinctive and intelligently relevant to each scene and actor.  I have grown not only as an actor but also a human and would highly recommend his classes, teaching, and direction to anyone interested in or experienced with acting."

"I have been attending Chris’ class for over a year and I have to say I have learned more from him in the last year than all my years of studying theater in college. He is extremely professional and his authentic and straight forward approach is refreshing. Chris has an uncanny ability to get his students to dig deep and go places they didn’t even believe was possible. He is a truly talented and gifted acting coach. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is serious about taking their acting to a whole new level."

"I've been a part of this studio for 3 and a half years and Chris is the best acting coach I've had the pleasure to work with. He has really upped my game. Before coming to his class, I hadn't acted or done shows since high school. Since working with him, I've gotten an agent, became a company member of a local theatre, and continue to do shows around town. He has helped me with my auditions and has coached me through several shows. His class is always welcoming and very constructive. The work isn't easy, but he pushes you to be the best you can be."

"I've been studying with Chris for more than 10 years. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable and committed acting coach. His style is engaging. entertaining and encouraging, but he doesn't pull punches—he's always honest with feedback. Chris also stands out because of his focus on the Meisner Technique, which is ignored by many in Colorado but remains the standard in major markets like LA and NY. Studying with Chris is hands-down the best way to build a lasting foundation and learn true craft as a actor."

"Chris is an excellent teacher. I take comfort in knowing (and seeing) that his true motivation for the class is to help each actor grow individually, and uses the time for each class among the dozen or more students very efficiently. Even though I'm just beginning as an actor he treats me with the same respect as some of the more seasoned students, and you can see noticeable progress from all students from one class to the next. I wish I could be learning from Chris full time! Truthfully one of the best teachers I've ever had."
