JACKIE'S NOTES

Though I had some Staged Combat
 training in College as part of my Theatre Degree;  I didn't really study
 Staged Combat until I met Mark.  

After my first session in MASC I felt powerful.  As a female I feel
 I am equal to all of the guys in class.
 It is an empowering experience!
I feel more disciplined and more self-confident in my overall acting ability.
MASC classes have helped me to push myself as an Actor and a Director. 

Maybe I'm biased, but Mark is 
easy to work with; and he can bring
 any production up to a dynamic and professional level rarely seen in Theatre. 

I guess I'm glad I married him.
