"A miracle of motivation. I learned so much from his trust, belief and professionalism."

"A most solid base in the Classics. He is honest. He has a clear vision and is able to impart that vision to his actors. An exceptional listener. He possesses unshakeable positive energy, care and charm."

"Focused and articulate. One of the best I've wroked with. Anyone who is around Randall learns and benefits from his love and energy."

Upon These Boards is dedicated to professional training for the emerging theatre artist. We offer a variety of workshops, and have helped place students in well-regarded professional training programs and acting conservatories. Our teachers (regional theatre artists of note) work across the nation. UTB offers a rehearsal environment where the actor is empowered to explore the ‘finer lines’.

Upon These Boards is proud to note that we've helped prepare (and consistently 'place') graduate school auditioners into the nation's top Actor Training Programs. In fact, a primary focus of our work is on the graduate-level theatre student who is preparing "entrance auditions" for MFA programs, U/RTA panels and Shakespeare festivals.

In our group workshops we prepare the actor for the various regional 'general' audition rounds throughout the country. We also coach one-on-one with the working professional actor who has occasion to pre-pare for a groundbreaking audition.

UTB's focus is a vigorous & positive style to help you refashion old audition pieces - or research and stage fresh material. The process includes analysis of the text, psychological gesture work, voice/body work - as well as reworking the printed resume.

Create the essential and vital audition which will prepare you for the "callback" and potentially land you the role.

"As a developing actor, it is immensely enjoyable to have the chance to work with a true artist. I learned so much. His direction has such clarity and sense of purpose."
