The concept of acting at the Richard Lawson Studios is loosely based upon the fundamental principles as conceived and developed by Milton Katselas. The approach is based upon moment-to-moment spontaneous work that is inspired by imagination, passion, and purpose, driven by a sense of reality, intelligence, and common sense, grounded in the patience to listen, the willingness to be affected, and the courage to ask the next question.
“The wins I’ve had since Richard are greater than pre-Richard.”

“He is more than an acting teacher. He is a life teacher.”
Bianca Lawson – Actress: The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Save The Last Dance, Rogue, Teen Wolf, Queen Sugar
“Watching Mr. Lawson teach is like seeing a potter turn a lump of clay into a beautiful vessel. His approach is fun and exciting even for those of us who pretend to be jaded by the craft. He’s good — damn good.”

“A fabulous actor, an inventive and insightful teacher and an exciting and imaginative director.”
