BARON KELLY I was blown away by the experience. I felt very fortunate to be able to work with an actor of this caliber. I had a lot of fun. I had no idea I could read lines and come across with so much feeling. Baron helped me bring that out. I was very nervous standing up in front of everyone, but it was very important to me that I knew my lines by heart. It meant a lot that he stayed with us the whole class time and really put effort into helping us develop our characters. The improv was the first time I’d ever done anything like that, and he was trying to get us all involved. I could tell he was paying attention to each of us personally when it was our turn. I felt that he was very genuine, and I hope that our paths cross again.
