“I am fascinated by our imperfections. I love living in the unknown. I am open and willing to grow. I am empathetic and curious.” – Margie Haber
These are the characteristics Margie teaches her students: Stop performing. Stop trying to impress. Start living. Fall in love with the creation itself. Be specific, but don’t be overly technical. Don’t get stuck in the world of script “analysis” that traps you in your head. Instead, allow the relationship to guide you, live in the creative mind, and embrace the joy that comes from expanding your imagination.
“The day I walked into Margie’s class, I knew she wasn’t going to let me get away with anything… She wanted me to dive into my core of pain and sadness. Margie helped me make all kinds of moves.”
Tiffany Haddish – "Girls Trip", "Like a Boss"
“I came to see Margie, worked with her, got a whole bunch of great ideas and was so prepared to go back. I was going to go get this job and I was gonna knock their socks off because I was so ready.”
Halle Berry – Actress and Oscar Winner
“Margie turned my cold scripts into warm reads.”
Kyle Chandler – Friday Night Lights, Bloodline, Manchester by the Sea
“I booked the series Goliath and I was pretty stoked. I had been working with Margie on different slices (scripts), and thought I was ready for the rehearsal, but then doubt crept in. My message to Margie was ‘I hate this slice, I hate it.’ Her response was ‘You don’t hate it, you’re scared of it. It’s easier to hate it than look at your truth.’ She reminded me to be kind to myself, to go and create, and enjoy!”
Brandon Scott – Dead to Me, Goliath
“Margie helped me to let go of my armor, and tap into more of my humor and vulnerability.”
Melanie Nicholls-King – The Wire, Blackbird, The Gilded Age, Your Honor
