DIRECTING

" I have known T. Eric Hart for more than 20 years. I am always impressed with his acting ability and musicianship; but more importantly, Eric has an uncanny ability to 'read a room'. This gift is important on so many levels – he puts people at ease, encouraging them to find new insight – into a character in a play, into the nuances of a song, or into the skills needed to 'take stage'. He is also a gifted communicator, meeting people at their level, listening and corresponding to individual needs and goals.I know his students (whether they are performers or businesspeople hoping to become more comfortable as public speakers) will benefit from his experience and expertise."

" Back in 2003, when the Croswell last produced 'Jekyll and Hyde,' T. Eric Hart did double-duty as both director and lead actor. This time around, Hart has returned as director, and he can justifiably be extraordinarily proud of what this production is. He has a remarkable vision for what 'Jekyll and Hyde' can be at its best, and he most certainly has the cast and crew to really deliver the goods."

" Working with T. Eric Hart was one of the greatest gifts of my acting career. His creativity and talent were evident in every rehearsal. Each moment had intention—clearly thought out, deeply considered. What stood out most was that he always had the actor in mind: the real human being bringing something grand to life. The cast felt safe, respected, and clearly communicated with, while also being pushed and challenged to be their very best. Everything he did came from a place of passion and genuine love for the art. I would give anything to work alongside T. Eric again. It was a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experience—one many can only dream of. "

“ Eric's passion for the text was contagious. He brought such an energy as a director that encouraged deeper connection, not just with the material, but amongst all of us as artists. His respect and joy for the show made my overall performance so much stronger and supported a bolder sense of risk taking and discovery that I still carry with me into new projects.”
