"Dear Larry, thank you for fearlessly challenging us to be present, to strengthen our points of view as human beings and as artists. We all felt treated with such integrity and respect. Your combination of good humor, warmth, and sharing of yourself, while encouraging a dedication to hard work, made us all trust ourselves to go further than we'd ever been.
As an actor and teacher, I continue to look for greater depth, a fuller revelation of my truth, a strengthening and opening of my imagination, and my work has become richer as a result of the work we did together; my own faith has been strengthened, Larry, and my passion has been nourished. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with you. Lucky are they who become your colleagues and students."
Garry Davey
“Larry, we were all impressed with your generosity of spirit and your desire to help us find our most artistic and dynamic selves. You challenged all of us to be more specific; to toss away all that was unnecessary and work from our deepest truths. Over the course of the workshop, our work became more exciting and meaningful. Larry, you enriched us and reset our compass and we will continue to nourish the seed you planted here."
