Classes and Coaching in the Art of Acting
Welcome to Jennifer McCabe Studios
WINTER 2027:
Jen will be on fellowship leave during the Spring 2027 semester from Lehman College, where she currently serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Multimedia Performing Arts. During this time, she will continue writing and developing her acting handbook, Jen’s Top Ten Screen Acting Tools, further refining and expanding her approach to the craft of screen acting.
As part of this work, Jen will offer a special winter screen acting class to take place in February and March, providing an opportunity to explore and deepen the practical application of her Top Ten Tools. Participation will be limited to a select group of actors.
If you are interested in being considered for this session, please email jen@jennifermccabe.com by January 7, 2027.
Our next Fireside Friday will be on November 13 2026 at 7pm. Please email me if you would like to attend. Registration is free.
Join me at my Hudson Valley acting studio and immerse yourself in your craft.
“Working with Jen McCabe is always a pleasure. She has great insight and energy as a director and I enjoyed sharing in her creative process when she directed me in the film, The Musicians. I also took her scene study class for camera and was able to work directly with her in exploring choices and filling scenes with emotion, impulse and intention. And I had a lot of fun!”

“Jen is an incredibly open and giving teacher. There is no pressure to be anything except yourself: an actor, working and learning as you go. She is so passionate about the art of acting. She teaches with a love and respect of the craft that makes you want to jump on board and try new things. Jen brings out only the best in all her students.”
