Before I took the Meisner class at Abby Rey, I didn't know if it was possible to have genuine, cathartic emotional experiences on stage before taking this class but now I do. Anybody who's interested in acting absolutely owes it to themselves to reach out about signing up for that class. Also, I've taken multiple classes with Greg Prusiewicz and highly recommend checking out his Building a Character or Scene Study class. There are also improv classes with Buddy McQueen that I recommend checking out if you're interested in that!

Taking Meisner 1 at Abbey Ray Studios was one of the most practical and challenging acting experiences I’ve had. Yisrael pushed us out of our comfort zones in a way that actually led to growth, not confusion, and the constant in-class and out-of-class work made a real difference. What stood out most was the clarity of the Meisner approach here. I’ve taken other acting classes where the process feels vague, but this one lays out a step-by-step path toward living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. It’s a great environment for anyone who wants structure, consistency, and real progress.

I’ve been taking acting classes at Bright Star Acting Academy for one year now and I can confidently say that I’ve improved so much and learned a lot about myself and my abilities. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming and every class I attend is always a positive experience. I’ve made lots of connections just by coming to the studio. The teachers here really do have so much knowledge to share and are very dedicated to their craft. Abby and all the other talented teachers here train you to be confident within yourself and in front of the camera. They are all so supportive and just hope to see us all succeed. Whether you’re a new and aspiring actor, or a more experienced one, Bright Star Acting Academy is sure to have something to offer you.

My daughter has been going to Bright Star Acting Academy for almost a year and I have seen tremendous gains in her acting and improvisation as well as the opportunities she’s been presented. Bright Star not only teaches acting methodology but also helps their students break into the industry teaching them everything they need to know to start a professional career and giving them opportunities to take on film, commercials, and television auditions due to their vast professional network and industry experience. If your child is considering a serious career in acting, television, or film, for LA or Las Vegas market, then Bright Star is their best resource.

My daughter recently started attending Bright Star Acting Academy's youth improv program, and my husband and I are super impressed by the quality of the instruction and the performance opportunities afforded to students. In less than 2 months, my daughter had the opportunity to perform full improv scenes in front of a full audience, the scenes were of a high caliber, and the students in the other acting classes were uniformly excellent. It's clear that Abby has created something very special with her acting academy.
