What is your problem. How do you get tricked into attending an audition you are 17 not a 3 year old. You took classes and paid less for acting coaching than most people pay for guitar or drum lessons. You paid 25.00 Per half hour which is a GREAT DEAL for professional coaching. JRP started out as a Finishing School way back in the early 20's, Yes Lucille Ball did go to JRP's Finishing school. JRP has now evolved into an Acting and Modeling academy. I have tons of success stories from the JRP that I work with. Kids getting LA Agents, Movie deals, National and Local Print Ads,Magazine Covers, Billboards, Eposidics, I could go on for PAGES. What did you go through that was so bad? You auditioned You were accepted You went to class (at a reduced rate) Did you ever audition for an agent? Did you study your craft? Did you take it seriously? Where is the SCAM? JRP'S ARE FRANCHISES AND ARE ALL DIFFERENT

I recall Richard was enrolled in the month of December. He enrolled in our teen acting workshop. It is a ten week program. Two hours each week. (We also allow ALL our students to repeat the same exact workshops at anytime within the first year...absolutley free) The investment is $1,295. Every December we have a toy drive, with the donation of a $25 toy we take off $300. Richard and his mom commited to the investment of $995. They put down $200 and agreed to pay $50 each week until paid in full. Richard attended his first set of 10 weeks and loved the workshops . He was doing extremly well. When I asked him when he wanted to take his free next set of 10 weeks ....He stated immediately because he was having so much fun. Richard, We are a school. You invested in workshops. You received double the training. You learned so much. You were invited to each agent audition and you still are welcome. Why are you stating we are a scam ? What is your real reason Richard ? You are being very unfair to someone who really beieved in you ! I still do !

Each JRP is individually owned and operated. Did you know that? It probably states in your paperwork that there is a limited period in which you may cancel and get a refund. Did you check this first? JRP is a great company with great people! Go on-line - www.johnrobertpowers.net and you will see all of the success stories, plus you may be able to find another JRP near you and possibly transfer. I am sorry about your bad experience, but if you are serious you won't give up! Also, Lucy along with many other famous stars did work with Mr. John Robert Powers in their younger days. We have a Legacy book in our JRP office that has clips of interviews with Lucy and others validating their association with JRP. You should be careful not to defame an entire operation like JRP just because of one bad experience with one JRP office, of which there are over 100 worldwide! JRP is the biggest and best at what they do. You don't stay in business for over 80 years doing things the wong way. Break a leg!!
