Jim’s Teaching:
Ethan Slater, Tony-nominated Actor and Former Student:

Noah Robbins, Stage and Screen Actor, Former Student:
“Jim has been instrumental in so many amazing things that have happened to me over the years, and because of him, I now consider myself an actor.”
Ava Blum, 1st Place Winner, ESU National Shakespeare Recitation Competition, 2020:

“GDS was so lucky to have Jim!”
Jacob Roberts, Actor, Filmmaker and Former Student:
