I want to take a moment to thank Beverly Beckman Blanchette for her donation to my NYC theater company’s production of Fireface! It is so wonderful to have such a supportive and artistic force such as Bev behind me and my projects. Bev was my acting and directing teacher in high school and she is one of the reasons why I attended Carnegie Mellon University and why I continued in theater and have since started a company. She is an inspiration and a mentor and has taught me the foundations of excellent acting and theater making. I’m completely confident that her continued work with actors will land them in the best arts schools or land them the role, because it did for me! I encourage everyone considering coaching to call Bev! – Benjamin Viertel

“I was referred to Bev last minute before an important filming of a pilot for national TV. She prepared me and made me feel totally at ease in just one hour. I got the job and felt totally comfortable during the filming. I would recommend her for anyone seeking theatrical/acting experience.” – James Currie (TV Host & Birding Expert)

“Ms. Blanchette is the BEST acting coach! She helped me prepare for my Bak theater audition on Zoom and it was actually a lot of fun. She is super nice and really made me believe in myself. And guess what? I GOT IN!! Thanks Ms. Blanchette!” – Luna

“Hi Beverly! Wanted to let you know that Eva was accepted to Bak for theater – her first choice. Thanks so much for you help! In addition, she told me today that when she was leaving her audition she heard the judges say ‘I really like her'” – Anna

“Here was my daughter at Bak audition after only 2 months of preparation with Mrs Beverly. Of course, she got in..to my surprise I admit. I could not believe that Mrs Beverly was able to prep her on such short notice. She also trained my daughter’s friend for Dreyfus for technical theater audition in just few weeks. Of course she also got in…” – Daniela

“Thank you Ms. Blanchette! She is so happy!
Maya did it again. She passed both her auditions, and was accepted for the Theater Tech program at Dreyfoos School of the Arts. Once again, your coaching and support were essential during prep work!”

“Mrs. Beverley is such an amazing theater coach!! She coached me greatly over zoom, allowing me to do my best on my Dreyfoos audition which lead me to get into Dreyfoos School of the Arts because of her great talent and dedication. Huge thanks to her and the work she put in.” – Jillian

“Good morning, David was accepted into the school!”
In a sweet message from David, he added, “Ty for your help I made it in the middle school of bak and if you don’t remember me I am David the who could not stay still.”

With her sensitivity and close attention to detail, Beverly was able to identify the weaknesses in my audition monologues in just one session. She then guided and inspired me to make stronger, more creative choices. Didn’t take me long to realize Beverly is a fabulous teacher of the craft of acting!

Dreyfoos School of the Arts class of 2021! Thank you for your fabulous coaching! ❤❤❤
