“Andrew and Sommer are gifted and sensitive theatre artists who have a very personal devotion to the Meisner Approach and to helping actors grow. They are going to make a big difference in the lives of the actors with whom they work. With their contribution the Chicago theatre community will simply be a better place.” – Larry Silverberg, Author of The Sanford Meisner Approach

“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.

“Sommer and Andrew’s passion for Meisner is genuine and infectious — they understand how to articulate the process and coach and support each step of the way.” David F., GSS Student.

“Green Shirt’s specific and detailed approach to Meisner’s Repetition is the best in-the-moment training I’ve ever come across.” – Ernie G., GSS Student

“My scene preperation and emotional development dramatically improved under the direction of Andrew and Sommer; they are actors with heart who understand how to bring out the best in you through the Meisner method.” – Tim T., GSS Student
