Testimonials From Colleagues

To Whom It May Concern:  I’ve known Jeff since 1994 when we met in a local production of Big River.  He played Huck Finn to my Jim.  What a great pleasure that we were able to reprise these roles in 2003.  From the first moment I met him, I knew that he was a talented, hardworking, gifted artist.  Not only is he talented on stage but he is also a great friend, someone you can always depend on.  I remember him working with the young kids in the show and observed that he was patient, thoughtful and respectful of them.  Any organization would be lucky to have him join them in any capacity.  I’m most fortunate to call him a colleague and a friend.

Jeff is a highly skilled actor who elevates every project with his thoughtful as well as professional performances and is truly an all too rare talent among his peers. Jeff is also a friend of the arts in various other ways; all of which have in common his constant drive for creative expression. I am grateful for having benefited from his acting talent and continue to look for further opportunities to do so.

To any theater lover:

I am most pleased to have the opportunity to offer a recommendation for Mr. Jeffrey Morin.  I met Jeff back in 2003 working together on a local musical production for our beloved CTM company.  Aside from his stellar acting skills, I was most impressed with how he treated his fellow players most respectfully.  He was an excellent role model for all of the youth in the production; his leadership skills and professionalism permeated the atmosphere.  I further had the chance to work as an actor with Jeff as the director of a film he was working on.  Jeff was patient, thoughtful, and insightful in how he directed his actors.  I would expect Jeff to excel in any theatrical endeavor and look forward personally to the opportunity to work with him again.  I therefore offer my unqualified highest recommendation to anyone considering working with Jeff as a colleague, or under his direction and leadership role.

I was a stage manager for a Children’s Theater for 10 years, during that time I had the honor of working with Jeff Morin several times.  I was always impressed with his professionalism, and what a team player he was.  

I first met Jeff in 1994 when he played Huck Finn in BIG RIVER.  One thing that you learn in the theater, is that the attitude of the lead performers have a direct impact on the cast unity and attitude.  Jeff’s professionalism, and leadership skills lead to wonderful experience backstage for cast.

Jeff is the perfect example of a triple threat performer--actor, singer, dancer--excelling at each with equal aplomb!  I met him in a production of Godspell sponsored by Madison Theatre Guild and quickly encouraged him to audition for CTM's production of "Alice in Wonderland" which followed soon afterwards.  He was an incredible White Rabbit, leaping and bounding about the stage while singing "I'm Late, I'm Late" in a delightfully neurotic manner.  His seemingly inexhaustible energy extended to all areas of his life--whether he was running cross country, pulling an all-nighter before an exam, or my favorite example, helping my mother, Nancy Thurow, distribute flowers in a cemetery she received after an opening night in foot deep snow banks.  Jeff is a remarkable individual who has also revealed himself to be an acclaimed and gifted writer in more recent years.  He is a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and a friend to everyone he meets.  I believe his joyful nature is at the core of his vitality displayed in all walks of life--personal and professional.
