H. Richard Greene
Workshop Director
To say that H.Richard Greene is a passionate teacher is an understatement. Actors leave his classes speaking of life-changing experiences. To say that he is a powerful actor is truthful. He has masterfully headed up the US Performing Arts/UCLA Arts Camps/Workshops Theater Conservatory for three straight years and continues in that capacity. He has served as the director of The Actors' Labs at the Coronet Theatre since its inception in 1997 and currently teaches an advanced lab for the professional actor at The New Place Theatre in North Hollywood. As Visiting Associate Professor, he taught on the faculty of the UCLA Department of Theater and was President of The Venture West Theater Company. In both Los Angeles and New York, he serves as a private acting coach. As an actor, Mr. Greene received critical acclaim in his New York debut as MacDuff in Macbeth with Rip Torn and Geraldine Page. He was a resident member of the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center, appearing there in Mary Stuart, Twelfth Night, Narrow Road To The Deep North, Play Strindberg, and The Crucible. His other Broadway credits include The Survivor at the Morosco, Romeo And Juliet at Circle in the Square, and the international tour of Brighton Beach Memoirs, directed by Gene Saks. He appeared in RICHARD III with Kevin Kline at The New York Shakespeare Festival and toured with Janet Gaynor in On Golden Pond and Cybill Shepherd in Lunch Hour. In the world premiere of the Off-Broadway hit, Family Business, he originated the role of Bobby Stein, reprising this part for the American Playhouse Series on PBS. His extensive regional credits include Timon Of Athens with James Earl Jones at the Yale Repertory Theatre, Taming Of The Shrew with Glenn Close at the Washington, D.C. Shakespeare Festival, Death Of A Salesman with Pat Hingle at Buffalo's Studio Arena, and Cyrano De Bergerac with Frank Langella at the Williamstown Theatre.
