Comments from those who have worked with Dossy:

Thank you, Dossy, for all that you have opened my eyes to and all you have opened my heart to: the "truth", so to speak, in acting; the humanness in acting; the sheer joy in acting.

Dossy's coaching for the Stageloft Repertory Theatre's production of Twelfth Night was invaluable to me, and something rare. Her approach combined equal doses of critical insight, supportiveness, and an amazing intuition for both what feels real, and what's dramatically interesting. Plus she's a delight to work with.

Dossy Peabody's own experience as a gifted actor informs her work with you. In a safe and supportive environment, she guides you to aim for your highest level of work. With an amazing sense of perception and sensitivity, she brings you to your own truths - to learn to trust your heart's wisdom - to trust your instincts. You will instantly trust her, because you can. You will have fun, too. You work in a gentle and rigorous way that cannot help but lift you up to your next level of acting - it is a powerful collaboration between coach and actor. It is exhilarating!

Dossy's work for my solo and ensemble shows has meant their survival and success. An actor's personal motivation, talent, and intellect can only go so far; Dossy's sharp objectivity and feel for what an audience needs to see from its performers has been invaluable.

Dossy Peabody is a supportive coach and a friend to all actors. Having been a working actor herself, she knows the art of acting and the business as well. Dossy has worked with me in developing several monologues. I have found her direction to be creative, flexible, and helpful in bringing my material to life. I most definately recommend Dossy as a teacher, coach, and director.

I have taken a number of acting classes both in Rhode Island and the Boston area. None has given me the proficiency in both approaching a role andworking with a character as my work with Dossy. Working with Dossy hashelped me in my networking capabilities immensely, and this has becomeexceedingly important as my acting career has advanced. Dossy brings thesame passion for acting to her students that she has brought to her manyroles making for a rewarding experience both as an actor and human being.

You coached me for the Source auditions. You did a wonderful job - I got three professional calls right away and have been working eversince. I have been thinking about you and your wonderful coaching style - so specific and still so supportive.

I have studied with a number of teachers, and Dossy Peabody, I can say certainly will help you learn the craft in a fun and safe environment that will let you gain a sense of confidence.

I feel like I'm being fed when I go to a coaching session with Dossy. Her encouragement is never-ending, her feedback is always constructive and supportive, and the safety she has created in the rehearsal studio enables me to forget about my inner critic and charge ahead in performance. Dossy is truly a remarkable teacher and coach.
