Did you know?


Larry was the Master Teacher of Acting & Full Professor for 4 years at Shenandoah University.


He was then asked to become the Director of the acting program but he turned down the offer due to his busy professional teaching & directing schedule.

“Larry Silverberg is truly a Master Teacher. This work is very important. After attending the summer training programs with Larry, I was so enthusiastic that I have sent three of my faculty and I encourage other actors and teachers to take this extraordinary training program!”
