I am a single mother of two and used a credit card to take over a thousand dollars off the card to give to jpp. My beautiful daughther has not been in no adds, exposured to agents,commercials NOTHING. I would have felt better donating to a charity or using that money to pay bills. When are you all going to stop taking peoples money and really let a kid get a chance to be discovered without taking there parents money!! If anybody wants to start a class action suit I m willing to get it started..Today! JPP even uses God to try to get people to join.

I really need my money back.

I would advise anyone using JRP to do your due diligence on this and any other company associated with modeling, acting, singing, etc...Just because a company "guarantees" stardom, does not prove to be logical. People, please use better judgement and take the hard road. At least you know you're going thru the proper channels. Always do your homework, and do not rely on BBB all the time. Companies do pay BBB to categorize them as "satisfactory".

I have attended JRP in Houston. I have auditioned for many shows, and have been exposed to power casting directors. I am up for a part in a movie! Im really thankful for the opportunity!

Please use wisdom when spending your money on acting classes. It costs money to go to auditions which are out of state many times if you live in Virginia. Take solid acting classes, submit to a couple of good agents and get experience in doing local theater and short independent films. This is a process ....just like any career. Above all...have fun !

Im curently taking classes out of the chicago office, and i want you all to know that they are not a scam. i have been to 3 auditions, in the month and a hafe ive been there. one with abraums artist from L.A. when they told me that i made it into the school, they had a staff member sit down with us and discuss everything, and give us time to ask questions. we were not rushed at all and spent around an hour talking to her. They also have a payment plan unlike what you guys say. they did NOT ask for money up front. i have learned alot so far, and am getting a job with them doing promotions. dont believe what everyone says its a good SCHOOl.

Well, my son was chosen (suprisingly)! I belive everyone was chosen! On the phone, they immediately asked how much we could afford and joked about who would be paying for it.. he wanted me to bring $3000 by 1pm that same day! He said he would meet with my son for 15min and we would be free to leave..basically just enough time to get my check! well, we are not participating..They r all about the money..they even hired a kid celebrity to speak to the group

well, if you are a single mother, why are you buying acting classes? so your daughter can make you money? A college degree doesnt guarantee you a good job, but one acting class does? JRP is not the lottery lady.

Well, I go to JRP, and they can't make you get ads... its a school, not an agency. It teaches you. I went their for a year now,and It has taught me a lot of skills.
