“The Soul’s Joy Lies in Doing.”
- Eleanora Duse
Dossy works with both professional and non-professional acting students of all ages. Her actors are applying to theatre school (graduate and undergraduate), preparing for an audition, working on a stage or film role, or simply studying the craft and art of acting.
Dossy’s actors have been, and are being, cast in productions at such regional theatres as: Trinity Rep, Merrimack Rep, Gloucester Stage, SpeakEasy, Actors Shakespeare Project, Lyric Stage, New Rep, Boston Playwrights Theatre, American Repertory Co, Huntington Theatre, etc. Her actors are auditioning at CP Casting, Boston Casting and Cristine Wyse Casting, and being cast in films and commercials.
They have been cast in productions at such regional theatres as Trinity Repertory Company, Merrimack Rep. Co., Gloucester Stage Co., Actors Shakespeare Project, SpeakEasy, Lyric Stage, New Rep. Theatre, Boston Playwrights Theatre, A.R.T. and Huntington Theatre among others.
Whenever I'm asked about acting coaches in the area,
I recommend Dossy Peabody first and foremost. Always.
She's a gifted actor herself. She's been in two of my plays, so I know firsthand. She's so good that the Boston Theatre Critics opted to recognize her with their very first Elliot Norton Outstanding Actor Award.
And what she does on stage, she brings to her coaching sessions. I know it when actors have worked with Dossy because they're honest and true in their responses. They're all about the work, not about showing me how talented they are. They're professional. I want to watch actors just like Dossy--who can live out their characters truthfully, who make intelligent and spontaneous choices, and who have a seriousness of purpose. Dossy brings those qualities and more to her coaching. She's very simply the best.
