Betty Buckley last co-starred in "Arsenic and Old Lace" at the Dallas Theater Center with Award-winning actress Tovah Feldshuh, bringing in the highest ticket sales in the theater's 50 year history. Ms. Buckley recently starred in the Off-Broadway hit comedy “White’s Lies.” The legendary Broadway star, actress/singer Betty Buckley will offer her celebrated “Song and Monologue Interpretation Workshop” to participants on July 25th - July 28th, 2011, at “The Jason Bennett Actor's Workshop in New York City.”

Tony-award-winning Buckley, veteran of film and television, will share her unique, practical performance methods with aspiring young artists, educators and professional performers. Ms. Buckley will guide students through psycho-spiritual, contemplative processes, meditations and exercises that facilitate presence and deep audience connection in performance.  Her profound energetic connection to songs, to performers and to audiences is long celebrated.

Jason Bennett, founder of "The Jason Bennett Actor's Workshop" said, "Our community of working artists is thrilled and honored Ms. Buckley will join us to share her wisdom. Her generosity to students and passion for teaching is in the time-honored tradition of working artists mentoring new generations of performers. She has developed her own approach to the work, as all great performers do. Her work goes beyond performing, it's an approach to living, as with all deep explorations of creative process.”

After her successful run at Feinstein’s!, The New York Times' Stephen Holden raved, "Betty Buckley [is] at the very top of her game."  John Simon of Bloomberg Press wrote, "Equally accomplished as actress and singer, she pours a lifetime into every song."
