“I learned more from Lennie in 6 weeks than in 4 years as a theatre major. But I also found my deepest self—the one that is authentic and not acting.”
— Katie Ketchum, Singer/Songwriter

“Lennie helps you dig deep and express what’s real. She breaks down the barriers to your most authentic performance.”
— Bonnie

“Her class changed my life. I’ve learned how to connect, accept, and fight for what I want. It's about more than acting—it's about being human.”
— Tricia Siegal
