Welcome to Green Shirt Studio. We are certified instructors of the Sanford Meisner Approach to Acting as trained by master teacher Larry Silverberg. We are smart, funny, passionate and just a little bit punk. Our belief is that your acting should be as real as the shirt on your back.

• "I'd heard warnings about Meisner (though I didn't buy into the hype) but Andrew and Sommer led classes in a safe, thoughtful and provocative manner. They made me think about acting in ways I had never imagined. It was a great experience, I highly recommend Green Shirt Studio." - Ann M, GSS student

• "For me, one of the hardest parts of improv is staying in the moment and responding to what's right in front of me, instead of my own ideas. The Meisner work I've done with Andrew and Sommer is definitely helping me hit that place more often." - Lisa S., GSS student
