“Having worked closely with Adam Lazarre-White for many years, I cannot say that I've ever worked with anyone more committed to excellence, integrity, honesty, hard work and joy in the acting, directing, writing and producing fields than him.  His insights into the creative process are deep and complex, while at the same time he is able to communicate these insights simply and understandably to beginners as well as to seasoned professionals.  And because he has written a wonderful and original book that lucidly encompasses these insights, his fortunate students are able to carry away with them a lifetime aid and method in their pursuit of an artistic, process-oriented approach to acting.”
