About The Facilitator
Jack Schultz has been the proud owner of Green Shirt Studio since 2019, where he's logged thousands of hours in the classroom guiding students of all experience levels through Levels 1–5 of Green Shirt’s Meisner Acting Program. His passion for training actors is matched only by his love for building community—something he took to the next level in 2023 when he co-founded Chicago Actor Staffing with his wife and creative partner, Alison Schaufler.
