Bill Doherty Jr. takes the Larry Moss workshop performing "In a Dark Dark House"


This is my third season with Larry Moss. This time around I performed a little over 25 minutes of the final scene of Neil Labutes' play "In a Dark Dark House" with my scene partner Aaron McPherson.

The biggest challenge for me this time around on top of tackling Neil LaBute was juggling the work that needed to go into this play (which is a beast! Some of the hardest dialogue I've ever had to learn.), but also developing my character for the play "Drop Dead", working full time rehearsals, and building the set for the show. It was definitely a juggling act like no other I've had. With some stress and a shit ton of coffee I think I pulled it off.

I can't believe how much I learn about myself and my technique every time I attend this class. I can really feel the refinement of everything I already know and the application of everything I am learning. I can't wait to see what happens the next time around.

Bill Doherty Jr. takes the Larry Moss workshop performing "Hurly Burly"


Man, what an awesome experience. Once again! I am absolutely in love with this class. I've learned more in the past two seasons than I have in such a long time combined. Every time I walk out of here I feel more and more inspired, ambitious, and empowered. I learn so much and meet such great and talented people. I am very grateful to be a part of this.


This season I performed a little over 20 minutes of David Rabes' "Hurly Burly with my scene partner Chris Cardano.

Once again thank you Larry Moss for bringing an amazing experience and profound knowledge to L.A. and having me be a part of it.

Bill Doherty Jr. takes the Larry Moss workshop performing "Brilliant Traces"

This was one of the most amazing actor coaching experiences I've had to date. The workshop was four days 8 to ten hours of nonstop acting. It was inspirational and inspiring. Larry Moss is one of the best acting coaches I've had the pleasure of working with. He is powerful, passionate, insightful, inspirational and doesn't hold back or sugar coat anything (which is exactly what I need). I absolutely loved the class and am looking forward to the next round.

I performed a 20 minute piece of "Brilliant Traces" by Cindy Lou Johnson with my scene partner Robyn Cohen. We performed it the first time for Larry under our own interpretation, which he critiqued. We rehearsed it again with Larry's notes and performed it again with his adjustments. It was an amazing experience.
