Jim Jarrett

Jim Jarrett (Founder/Director) is one of the most respected and qualified teachers of The Meisner Technique in the world. He spent four years with Sanford Meisner – two as a student in his professional, private class then two more working with the master teacher – both as an actor and teacher-in-training. After his apprenticeship, Jarrett emerged as Sanford Meisner's last teaching protégé and for the last twenty years he has taught throughout North America, Europe and Asia on behalf of the standards and respect for the craft of acting Sandy stood for. In 2006, Jarrett "came home" to San Francisco and opened The Meisner Technique Studio. In so doing, he made good on a promise he'd made to Sandy many years before – to establish an acting school dedicated solely to the teachings of Sanford Meisner.
