Synthesis and accountability in actor training. "As someone who has trained young actors for three decades I found Joe's book very inspiring and useful. It is full of sound, sage advice and clear, practical exercises. The integrated approach he has honed over many years of teaching is inventive, insightful, and straightforward. His care and compassion for his students and his devotion to nurturing their talent, aspirations, and love of the theater come through on every page."
