Prof Krueger was kind but firm. Great personality very personable. I learned a great deal about acting, and projecting my voice. The old plays were delightful. What a pleasure he was and the class.

Professor Kruger is a great teacher, in the begining the Greek plays were a little difficult, but then it got easier. Sweet older man that won't be pushed. Do the work and you will do well.

Comment:

Kruger is a good professor but he does give a lot of reading and also gives a quiz in every class. You are required to perform twice during the semester, so if you are taking this class just for a credit I do not recommend it. He also assigns you to watch two plays and write two papers on them. Its a little on the expensive.

Comment:

He was actaully a good professor, as much as I hate to say. His personality is horrible, though. You'd be better off taking a class with a prof not as old and cranky. Save yourself the time, and take his classes ONLY if you're majoring in Dramatic Arts.

Comment:

Professor Kruger knows more about Acting and Theatre than any of the hacks that run the department. He know longer directs shows because the untalented people in charge hog up the money and time. I learned so much from him.

Comment:

Only take the class if you're serious about acting. Otherwise you will sink and he will abuse you. That and you'l waste everyones time. Listen to what he is telling you during his "criticisms". He is only helping you because chances are you aren't a great actor yet and you need improvement. As for the reading.... DO IT asap.

He is really not as bad as everyone says. It is very easy to get through his class. If your a girl just dress cute and do your work. If your a guy pay attetion and try to seem serious about your work he will like you and read alot of Tennesse Wiiliam plays he is in love with them

This man is the devil. He gives tests on books that he forgot to tell us to read and then gives 5s and 0s out of a hundred points. The test only have 2 questions?? How the hell do you get a 5 out of a hundred on a two question test?! He falls asleep during class and doesn't teach a lick about theater when drama 100 is and intro to theater.Run away

i went to a theatre school before csi and he can't teach theatre for****. i have no clue what he is talking about and his improvs what are those. those aren't real improvs before i came to this school i was in a class where all we did was improv so i know he needs a better edu. himself.
