“I have had the pleasure of getting to know Bart Lovins and working under his direction since 2018. I’ve had the honor of seeing how he leads casts of all ages, prepares quality productions and brings the best out in those he works with. Bart has taught me so much not only as an actor, but also as an Arts Educator. I am thankful to have had opportunities with him on stage and look forward to seeing what he will create in the future.”

I’ve worked with Bart in several capacities. He’s directed me in shows, and also coached me for some auditions. Bart has always had great insight, when it comes to getting the most out of the text. He gives great feedback, and has helped me on many occasions to think of scenes in a different way…usually unlocking some fun, new ways of playing certain moments. I highly recommend him for acting and coaching sessions!

I've had the pleasure of working with Bart as a director a few times now. He works very collaboratively and excels at bringing together a holistic vision of the play while honoring the individual insights we may have into the characters we, as actors, bring to life. If you are looking for someone to help you coach and prep your next audition, Bart will be a great resource in your acting journey!

I’ve known this young man for over ten years and have performed multiple times under his direction as well as sharing the stage with him. He is has always been an expressive and innovative actor and director. He has the unique quality of being able to direct, correct and instruct in such a way as to improve one’s performance without injuring the tender psyche. Great guy.

Bart is wonderful to work for! He is very direct with what he wants and is clear in his vision! What helps Bart stand out is how straight forward he is when giving notes on your performance. He is not mean but he will tell you what needs to change or what is good. Bart is so funny as well which makes working with him very enjoyable!
