Feedback
"As Nita’s former acting teacher it has been a pleasure and delight to work with her over the yearlong Meisner Technique core training program. Nita has great depth and sensitivity. She is an instinctive actor and has the ability to really listen in the work with her scene partners and to really listen to direction. She is fearless, as in she is willing to explore any subject matter physically and emotionally. Nita is very creative in bringing her own ideas to explore themes and relationships and has a sense of wonder, curiosity and play. She is intuitive, free and open to wherever the work may take her from moment to moment. She is a lovely actress and would make a great team player in any production."
- Jo Romero / acting teacher, actor, director
