It is obvious that Rob is invested in the success of each student, he holds all of us to a high standard and challenges us to deeply strengthen our craft. After only five weeks, every student leaves the class a significantly better actor. I am so grateful to have found Sedgwick Studios and to be a part of the enriching community it fosters!

I sincerely enjoyed taking Rob's class because of how detailed and passionate he was in giving…read moreinstruction to each and every student. I was deeply moved by his passion and devotion to develop good actors, which is why I not only enjoyed taking his class but repeating again and again. Whenever my performance was good, he took his time to compliment me with all his heart, and that really helped to build my confidence. Rob also really took his time to give me constructive advice on what I needed to work on, and I did my best each time to implement it in the best way I can. I feel very proud that I was able to improve so much in such a short period of time. I feel I was able to learn what it means to simply perform with joy without any fear or concern of anything. I feel I was able to understand what acting truly means through his class. I can honestly say that meeting and working with Rob truly changed my life. Last but not least, I was so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful and supportive classmates, and they created an environment where one can truly enjoy the art of acting.

Useful for those interested in upgrading their presentation or communication skills. I've taken the class with lawyers, educators, business owners, financial executives and a lot of research, advertising, sales and marketing types - all ages, all levels - and every time it's different - and I learn something new that I can put to use immediately. Worth it for the "describe a chair" ideation exercise alone. OH, and it's fun. You don't need to be "show-bizzy" or funny at all. Class usually meets in a rehearsal studio in midtown - which is interesting in itself. HIGHLY recommend.

In typical comedy style, this show is held in a basement theater. It's at 74th and 1st (seems to be attached to a church?). The venue was only half full the night we went (I think they are new at this location, the word might not yet be out), but the show was great--this was true improv, the actors very talented..

While I understand that, as a parent, your child's performance may be the only evidence that your money is being put to use....I ask the parents this: is it healthy? Is your child really learning music, or just the act of it? I have seen students i.e. customers getting physically sick over the performance aspect of the school's programs, and some simply dropped out due to the pressure. I assume the school's focus on performance is in part driven by the parents, that's why I've chosen to address them in my critique. I, as a student/customer, find the staff/school's performance-directed initiatives to be counter-productive in learning music and unhealthy.

The theater is comfortable, beautifully renovated, and intimate (although the acoustics can be tricky if you do auditions there! It's rather dead.). Performances generally are solid, production values are good, and all in all, they usually do a nice job with whatever opera they are producing, and they choose some interesting pieces here and there. Ticket prices have gone up quite a bit over the years -- tickets for the operas will set you back $55 (vs. Met weekend prices: Front Family Circle: $42; Balcony is $80 -- sure you are up high, but it's the MET!).

Goodness, where do I even start? I've known Veronica for four years now and have seen her every…read moreyear since 2022. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I first saw Veronica during one of the most uncertain periods of my life. I felt completely lost, anxious about my future, and constantly searching for answers. I was in one of the darkest periods of my life, shortly after my father passed away, and I can't thank Veronica enough for helping me through that season with her wisdom, compassion, and guidance. What stood out to me wasn't just the reading itself--it was the perspective she gave me and the personal growth she encouraged. Veronica didn't simply tell me what I wanted to hear. She challenged me to do the inner work, recommended books that completely shifted my mindset, and reminded me that I had a role in creating the life I wanted. I read most of the books she suggested, took her advice to heart, and over the next few years my life transformed in ways I never could have imagined. One of the things that has always amazed me is how many things she saw long before they happened. During my first reading, she told me I would meet the person I was meant to be with and even gave me a timeframe. I didn't love hearing it at the time because she told me I would meet my person after about a year--but only after I had done the inner work and was truly ready. She encouraged me to fall in love with my own life first, and I'm so grateful I followed her guidance because it unfolded exactly as she described. Today, that person is my fiancé. When I saw her again a couple of years later, she told me that my fiancé and I would purchase a home together and eventually own a business--things that honestly weren't even on our radar at the time. She also spoke about career changes, promotions, and new opportunities that eventually unfolded in ways I never expected. Looking back now, it's incredible to see how many pieces came together over time. The Prediction that shocked me the most was about the land and business that she somehow saw before we even thought about - because today my fiance and I own our land and business. Today, I've built a career I love and continue to grow in, started my own business, found hobbies that gave me purpose, become more confident than I've ever been, met the love of my life, and found genuine peace with myself. Veronica played a pivotal role in helping me find the direction, clarity, and courage to begin that journey. I've now seen Veronica multiple times over the years, and every session leaves me feeling more grounded, more self-aware, and more empowered. She has an incredible gift, but what I appreciate most is her honesty, compassion, and genuine desire to help people grow. She wants people to heal, evolve, and trust themselves, and that has always been evident in every interaction I've had with her. If you're looking for clarity, guidance, and someone who will encourage you to become the best version of yourself, Veronica is truly one of a kind. I will always be grateful for the impact she's had on my life and can honestly say she helped change the trajectory of it. If you're looking for an intuitive psychic, a wise woman who provides honest, authentic guidance--and you're ready to look deep within yourself--consider this your sign to schedule a reading with Veronica. It may just change your life the way it changed mine.
