"Guidance"
"Working with JWM: A Theatrical Company has been an incredible honor for me as a young actor in NYC. Jarrett is an incredibly insightful individual, able to work with a wide variety of people and alter his teaching styles to accommodate your specific learning style, which allows him to give the most detailed, accurate, and helpful notes, and prepare you in the best ways for the wonderful opportunities that he and his company provide. The amount of work they do to bring musical theatre to communities who may not be able to access it as easily is an important aspect of the work they do and is incredibly impactful for all who get the opportunity to enjoy the concerts they produce. Their combined efforts result in the most stunning, musically solid, and periodically accurate renditions of beautiful and iconic musical theatre and Broadway standard repertoire. His company also creates wonderful opportunities for artists of color to accurately represent themselves and their communities, and his love for music opens doors for equally passionate individuals to be authentically themselves and share their love and stories with eager audiences. I am beyond grateful for every opportunity I am given to share the stage with Jarrett and am a proud representative of those that work hard on stage and behind the scenes within his company whenever I am lucky enough to perform under their guidance."​
"Kindness"
"Reflecting on our recent rehearsal process, I want to express my appreciation for the kindness and professionalism displayed by Jarrett and the entire production staff. Their thoughtful guidance truly set a positive tone for the experience. I was impressed by the well-conceived vision of the show, which allowed us to move seamlessly through our rehearsals without unnecessary pauses for clarification. I cant wait for this company to grow, you are all so fantastic and I am always very grateful to work with you all! "
"Organized"
"This is the most organized team I've ever worked with- communication was super clear and it was a welcoming environment. I love these shows so much, and everyone is always so professional. JWM: A Theatrical Company creates such an inspiring workplace. Their good energy really encouraged us to feel the same way. They look at industry standards and make sure that regardless of pay, they give vocalists and musicians the respect they deserve.
It was such a pleasure to work with them and hope to do so again in the future! Keep up the amazing work."
"Exceptional"
"Jarrett's lectures are one of our most highly requested and attended events, and we are grateful to have him featured on our monthly calendar of events. Students enjoy learning more about the shows they love, the controversies behind them, and the histories of how they began. Jarrett is truly an exceptional lecturer. He takes us on a journey through each show’s history including its songs, music, composers, and actors. Jarrett is beyond his years in how well he articulates his knowledge. It’s as if he was in the same room as these important industry figures! His lectures have become a cornerstone in our programming and look forward to continuing to learn from the master himself."
“Working with Jarrett was a wonderful experience. From the very onset of Morningside, he was nothing if not communicative and ready to not only share his ideas and progress but also ready to listen to everybody involved and the input they could offer. Once rehearsals started, he was flexible but professional, making sure everybody involved was comfortable with the schedule, and ensuring that we all had a voice in rehearsals.”
Jakob Messinetti,
Bassist, JWM Orchestra
“As a composer, he is very intentional about what he wants to convey with any given passage of music, but he is also very open-minded to suggestions from myself and others on how to make adjustments that better serve to realize his goals. Similarly, as a music director, Jarrett has very specific sounds in mind for what he wants to hear, and is patient but persistent during the rehearsal process, allowing for a productive and enjoyable working environment.”
Seth Schultheis,
Pianist, Assistant MD of Morningside
"Passionate"
"It's always a pleasure working with JWM: A Theatrical Company. My residents always enjoy attending his lectures as it brings up memories and they love hearing facts and stories about the industry that they had never known before. They're very flexible and willing to discuss other theatrical works and elements such as dramas, writing, and directing. After each session, my residents would say “When will they be coming back?” I know JWM: A Theatrical Company is passionate about what they do, and we always can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us."
