Wayne Allen Geis claims that Armen Boyajin was his teacher. I telephoned Mr Boyajin to ask him about Wayne being his pupil. This was his response: "Armen Boyajin said that Geis worked for his Opera Company in NYC, he was coaching him to audition for various operas. Arman was the musical director. Wayne worked for him in 69-70 or 71 he was not sure anymore. He said that he thought Wayne was still in Germany. Mr Boyajin made it clear that he had absolutely no private contact with Wayne Geis, and that Wayne was not his pupil. He merely worked for his Opera Company production and he "coached" him, but he did not teach him."
.........this is the text of his webpage: "A talented performer and singer, Wayne Geis is dedicated to theater arts. Under private study at John Mace Vocal Studio in New York during the early 1970s, Wayne Geis developed his talents and began his career as a teen while featured in the Tony Award-winning Arthur Miller drama, A View from the Bridge. He replaced Jon Voight as the character Rodolpho in that production on Broadway and worked with stars Robert Duvall and Dustin Hoffman. During his initial training period with John Mace, Wayne Geis developed his operatic tenor voice and his budding skill in this discipline led to subsequent coaching with Virginia Gerhardt, Richard Woitach, and Armen Boyajian. Through his network of instructors and training, he found roles in Madama Butterfly, La Traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor, Anna Bolena, and the Barber of Seville.
Wayne Geis has since enjoyed a successful career. He participated in a number of theater productions within the United States, including a role as Freddy in Kicking the Castle Down, under the direction of David Young at the Gramercy Arts Theater in New York City. Wayne Geis also performed as Starbuck in The Rainmaker at the Starlit Festival in Washington and as King Henry IV in Jean Anouilh's Becket. In the realm of musical theatre, he acted as Caliph in a production of Kismet at Casa Manana in Texas, and as Tony in West Side Story in New York City. In addition to enjoying a career abroad, Wayne Geis established studios in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and New York, including his own Wayne Allen Studio in New Jersey. Wayne Geis draws on over 30 years of professional experience while instructing performers seeking careers in theater.
NEWS CLIPPINGS FOUND ON THE I-NET: "WOOD-RIDGE — “Reverend Goddess Charmaine,” also known as Charmaine Colon, was charged with prostitution, promoting prostitution, child endangerment and operating a massage parlor without a license after police conducted an investigation.
Wood-Ridge Police Chief Joseph T. Rutigliano reported Colon, 42, was arrested on April 23 for allegedly operating her business out of a home on First Street in Wood-Ridge with a juvenile living on premises. Colon also has a Web site, www.revcharmaine.com, which she reportedly used to advertise her services, which included helping others reach their spiritual self through sex.
Rutigliano said the investigation began several weeks ago when police noticed men entering her first residence on Bergen Street at different hours of the day and evening, and staying for short periods of time. Rutigliano said the activities stopped at that residence and then resurfaced at her First Street residence.
An undercover officer was sent to her home where Colon solicited prostitution to the officer and was subsequently arrested, Rutigliano said. The investigation was conducted by WRPD Detective Sgt. John Korin and Det. William Wolfsohn and was assisted by officers David Marchitelli and Jerry Onnembo, as well as several officers from the Rutherford Police Department under the direction of Chief Steven Nienstedt.
According to Colon’s Web site, she was “ordained by the New Seminary, a school of interfaith theology in New York City. She is a Reiki Master, certified hypnotherapist, trained aromatherapist and tantric energy specialist. Reverend Charmaine is a member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators Counselors and Therapists). She is also a member of ASEP (Association of Sexual Energy Professionals). According to her site, she assists organizations such as Alternatives to Domestic Violence, the New York City School System and the New School for Social Research, where she taught stress relief and chakra balancing, and performed aura readings for students.
Private sessions for healing and growth, such as Goddess Readings or Tantric Massage, were available in Manhattan and New Jersey for $140 an hour. However, according to her Web site, New Jersey appointments were no longer available as of April 23, 2007.
She was released ROR by Wood-Ridge Municipal Court Judge Mark Janeczko. Her first hearing is scheduled for May 3.
Update On Charmaine Colon, a.k.a The Goddess:
WOOD-RIDGE — Charmaine Colon was arrested for prostitution and admits guilt, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she will have a criminal record.At a recent court hearing on June 19, Colon, 42, was granted a Pretrial Intervention program or PTI, by Judge Lois Lipton. She had previously filed for the program at an earlier hearing on May 29. By filing, Colon admits guilt for the charges made against her but will have to go through the PTI program or a “probationary” period in order to avoid a criminal record.
The program consists of supervision for an average of one to three years. It also imposes conditions that include random urine monitoring, assessments for fees, penalties and fines, community service, restitution and psychological and/or drug and alcohol evaluations with compliance to recommended treatment programs.
Colon will be terminated from the program and be returned to the trial list if she fails to complete it successfully. Upon completion, she’s eligible to have her record expunged. The New Jersey Judiciary Court Web site lists PTI’s benefits: There will be no record of conviction; it allows rehabilitative services to be provided soon after the alleged offense, in an attempt to correct the behavior that led to the offense; many of the costs associated with the formal court process are eliminated through acceptance; it provides early resolution of a case which serves the interests of the victim, the public and the defendant; and it reduces the burden on the court and allows resources to be devoted to more serious criminals.
Wood-Ridge Police Department arrested Colon on April 23 for allegedly operating a prostitution business out of a home on First Street in Wood-Ridge with a juvenile living on premises.

Humiliations, spankings and beatings, slaps in the face, betrayal, sexual exploitation, derision, neglect, etc. are all forms of mistreatment, because they injure the integrity and dignity of a child, even if their consequences are not visible right away. However, as adults, most abused children will suffer, and let others suffer, from these injuries. This dynamic of violence can deform some victims into hangmen who take revenge even on whole nations and become willing executors to dictators and cruel leaders. Beaten children very early on assimilate the violence they endured, which they may glorify and apply later as parents, in believing that they deserved the punishment and were beaten out of love. They don't know that the only reason for the punishments they had to endure is the fact that their parents themselves endured and learned violence without being able to question it.
This is why society's ignorance remains so immovable and parents continue to produce severe pain and destructivity - in all "good will", in every generation. Most people tolerate this blindly because the origins of human violence in childhood have been and are still being ignored worldwide. Almost all small children are smacked during the first three years of life when they begin to walk and to touch objects which may not be touched. This happens at exactly the time when the human brain builds up its structure and should thus learn kindness, truthfulness, and love but never cruelty and lies. Fortunately, there are many mistreated children who find "helping witnesses" and can feel loved by them.
"As for why Geis or anyone else who lives through malignant narcissism finds Miller's book useful, it is a way to legitimize selfish needs to feel important. Of course, only the naive and manipulated would think that Geis truly understands Miller's intent."
Geis lives in a world apart insulated from peer review and reality testing by grandiosity. Miller's powerfully written book can easily mislead the self-diagnosing reader. "
