Jeffery Marcus Acting Classes |

| Jeffery currently works with some of the leading actors in film and television. My classes are primarily Scene Study. It is important to me that everyone get up and work once a week, so classes are kept intimate. I work with each actor individually, as sometimes the levels of the classes are mixed. |
