Click here for Internet Interview with Marc Durso
NEW YORK ...a true theatre professional... Marc’s energy, creativity and attention to detail supported the actor’s working process. He is a joy to work with and I recommend him to any theatre of integrity. They would benefit from his work. UTA HAGEN - Tony Award winner, Master Teacher, Author/NYC *** ...Marc’s energy, efficiency and intelligence had become indispensable...I give Marc a large measure of credit for such success as we achieved. I recommend him highly... FRITZ WEAVER - Tony Award winner/NYC *** Marc Durso is a very fine and artistic stage director...I have known Marc for ten years. In all his work he is massively creative and joyful to work with. CHARLES NELSON REILLY - Tony Award winner, Broadway Director, Master Teacher *** I had the pleasure of working with Marc during the shooting of a 130 episode mystery TV drama called OCEAN AVENUE in Miami, FL. Instantly upon meeting Marc I was struck by his energy and creativity. A person cannot help but get excited about the acting process when in the same room with Marc. He captivates and excites you simply in his own passion for the craft. Great, so he got my attention! More importantly, Marc challenged me. Never satisfied with the obvious or any one single direction, Marc challenges you to think and ask questions. He tests your creativity and leads you in directions you never thought to go. Suddenly, a simple, mundane scene takes a twist and turn and becomes fun and interesting to watch. Marc's teachings gave me structure; a process, but more importantly they encouraged me to take chances and never be satisfied with the ordinary. Following my work on OCEAN AVENUE, I auditioned for the casting directors of all three major networks. Marc coached me prior to my auditions and helped me to land a contract role on ABC's daytime series ALL MY CHILDREN. I attribute much of my growth as an actor over the past year to Marc's coaching and support and highly recommend him to any and all who want to learn the craft. Marc Menard - "Boyd Larraby" - All My Children - ABC NY *** Recently I had the opportunity to take Marc's 3-day workshop in LA, my first experience with the Uta Hagen technique, leaving me with a "taste" of the process. Although I came away, thinking "differently", I feel the only way to master the work is by committing oneself to it. I found Marc to be a very passionate teacher and motivator who is untiringly dedicated to his student's success. He really wants us to "get it". A couple of weeks later, I was in Miami and had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Marc preparing for an upcoming audition for Broadway. Using the Hagen technique as well as my own approach, Marc coached me breaking down and clarifying each moment in both the script and the two songs that were sent to me. Confident that I had done the work, I left my technique and preparation at the door, trusted, and had fun! I felt great about the audition! I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to have been coached by Marc and I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about growing their craft, to do the same. Thanks Marc!
