Video Testimonials
" Peter was my buffer between directors "
"Thank you so much Peter! THE LAB is truly the greatest gift any actor, new or experienced can be blessed with. I always reach for the tools you taught me first and foremost, desperately trying to remember every mid-class talk, teaching, comment, I only wish that the lab was here in NYC, we need it! "
"An established world class musician friend of mine described his daily routine of scale exercises. Well into his 50s he still practices the very same exercises that he did when he learned his craft. The work at the Lab is the same and is the single most important lesson I've learned from Peter Kales. The exercises taught to sharpen our tools and hone our craft will be part of our journey until the day we stop breathing as artists. There are no short-cuts to greatness."
