Sign-Up Now"I’ve had to look at old beliefs and limitations and take greater ownership of my voice as a gay artist, and I now find myself in a new ‘age.’ I’ve been challenged in ways I never would have encountered without this opportunity, and I am forever grateful for the generous and collaborative spirit of our class."
- Doug Tompos, NCIS: LOS ANGELES
"It made me feel for the first time since moving to Los Angeles that I was in a community of like-minded artists, all with their heads in the right place. All you need is an idea, courage, and the right team to help move your vision to the screen. BGB taught me that I have a voice + has encouraged me to shout it."
- Zachary Mooren, THE ROOKIE
"Joining Risa’s In Rehearsal collaboration was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as an actor. I was thrust into a roomful of actors and writers who, like me, have a burning need to tell stories. It has been an honor for all of us to serve this journey, to live and be the vision."
- James Morrison, 24
"Thank you Risa for reminding us that the only limits that exist are the ones we create for ourselves. It is invigorating, incredibly satisfying work all fueled by the heights you lift us to in class. Thank you for caring, thank you for reminding us what is important and thank you for spreading joy. Grateful is an understatement."
- Yetide Badaki, AMERICAN GODS
"I have gotten so much out of this class. For me it's been a profound journey towards rejuvenating my love of the craft and making time for myself. And it's also given me tools for reaching the (sometimes elusive) authenticity I seek as a person and as an actor. It's been food for my soul. I'm learning that it's so much easier on the soul ultimately to connect, be vulnerable and be seen. It's the fear and disconnection that's full of angst and so much harder. Me and my soul thank you."
- Lesley Fera, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
"I can't tell you how grateful I am to be included in Risa's class. Watching the incredible work is so inspiring, and I keep thinking, ‘I can't believe I'm included among such amazing actors!’ As you know, inspiration can be difficult to cultivate in the rat race of the business, so I'm happy to have a real dose of it."
- Milena Govich, Exec. Producer, FBI
