Present & Perform,

66 Lyon Street, New Haven, CT 06510

"Present & Perform is absolutely incredible in preparing you for MFA Acting Auditions! Mariah is incredible in assisting with finding the right monologues, working through them, and providing exercises that help improve your performance. Everything from entering the room, saying my name, delivering the monologues, making the monologues fit time restraints, and answering interview questions was covered. I felt incredibly prepared at all of my grad school auditions and now I have a bunch of new monologues that are ready to be used for regular auditions as well! I highly recommend!"

"Mariah was wonderfully nurturing in my journey as an actor. I particularly loved our time working together on Shakespeare. She is an excellent resource, teacher, and mentor that I cannot recommend enough!"

"Mariah changed my life! I came to her with a very specific idea about what I needed help with. I had no plans to start doing auditions again, I quit performing years ago. I just wanted the 'Present' part. She still recommended her usual course to me and tweaked it for my needs. I learned more from her in 5 classes than I did from my theater school. She didn't just help me brush up on skills, suddenly I was excited and confident to audition again! She helped me find an opportunity with local artists that was a great fit for me and I got the lead for the first time in my life. I have two upcoming events that will have me on stage and one of them will be paying me for my time. I went from thinking my acting days were over to knowing myself as a professional actress and the only thing I had to do was hire Mariah. I'll be back to learn more in the future!"

"Starting off as someone who had no experience with an acting coach, Mariah was incredibly welcoming and made me feel confident with my acting. She helped me pick out a monologue and after a few months, I now feel confident enough to step into an audition room. Mariah helped me develop techniques that will carry me throughout my career. Mariah is a supportive and encouraging acting coach and it is an honor to be able to learn from her!"

"I've taken several classes with Mariah, and always walk away feeling re-invigorated about my work! She creates a warm and open environment, which has allowed me to be vulnerable and make big discoveries in my monologues and scenes. Through private coaching and lots of encouragement, she has helped me through the grad school audition process to great success. I would highly recommend Mariah for private or group acting classes in New Haven. She rivals MANY in NYC and beyond!"
