 TESTIMONIALS
 
 
 

"There are few acting coaches in the world who can bring to the artist the kind of wisdom, experience and sensitivity that Kate Kennedy does." Charlie Matthau - IMDB.com

 

"Kate is amazing. Kate and PeachCraft took Chelsea's acting skills beyond where we thought they could go and now a number of opportunities are coming her way." - Susan Meyers

"I miss having you as an acting coach and being in class with everyone! I love my classes here in LA, but there are no actors studios that have an "ensemble" as close, supportive, comforting, unique, or fun as Peachcraft. And there is no Kate Kennedy on the West Coast!" -Tyler Shamy

"I just wanted to thank you for all your extra-ordinary hard work this summer.  You gave the kids a wonderfully positive experience and I know that my son had a great time and learned a lot.  I enjoyed every performance of the show, the talented kids, and getting to know the other moms as well as yourselves." - Julia Frankel

"I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful program you have created. Annie, in particular, is delighting in her Peachcraft experience. Every Tuesday, she wakes up excited for the day to begin. This Tuesday, when I picked her up from her voice lesson, she exclaimed, “Mommy, I love my life! I love Peachcraft!” It was music to my ears. By the way, did Annie mention to you that she got the lead in her class play, Cinderella? Just a short little class play, but still, a nice feather in her cap. Thanks again for giving Annie such a fabulous experience."
Fondly,
Amy Schiffer
