ACT of Communication

Great litigators don’t just “present. ” They connect.

We help trial attorneys deliver their message with presence, authenticity, and control. Because communication is more than what you say. It’s how you say it.

Sometimes, presence beats prestige.

This testimonial came from an in-person consultation, one of the many ways we help trial attorneys elevate their presence and connect more effectively with jurors.

06/03/2025

For 40+ years, we’ve helped trial attorneys command the room, using timeless tools from the stage.

We were the first to bring theater and law together. And we’ve never stopped refining the art of authentic advocacy.

We’re not your average communication consultants.
We come from the stage and bring the power of performance to the courtroom.
At Act of Communication, we believe the skills of a great actor aren’t just useful; they’re essential for today’s trial attorney.
What tools are in your advocacy kit?

What happens when the actor playing Ophelia (Dawn) is sexually assaulted by the actor playing Hamlet (Colin)? How does the trauma expose the unacknowledged dark basis of her marriage to her college professor wife (Penelope)? What is the glue of secrets and lies that binds Colin’s brilliant lawyer wife (Jennifer) to this predator? Finally, what happens when instead of dying in the river... Ophelia lives, survives, goes to a nunnery, and starts a revolutionary movement to stop sexual predators from preying?
