Randy Sean Schulman (He/Him)
Randy's La Gioconda made its debut at Stages Theater Center in Los Angeles. The show, which ran for 17 weeks, received rave reviews from The Los Angeles Times, Backstage, and LA Weekly. In 2003, Randy was awarded several Ovation Awards for La Gioconda, including Best World Premiere (tying with August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean), Best Director, and Best Playwright. He went on to receive three Drama Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding World Premiere, Director and Actor. The Collective Theater Company, of which he was a founding member, won more than two dozen awards from his silent-style trilogy of plays: Infinity, La Gioconda, and Luminous Birch and the Splendor of the Colorless Light of Emptiness. From 2001 to 2004, Randy was invited to teach, coach and mentor actors at Stages Theatre Center in L.A., founded by famed director, actor, and playwright: Paul Verdier.
In 2003, Randy directed the award-winning premiere of Jonna's Body, Please Hold at The Odyssey Theatre — a show that toured the U.S. and went on to win several awards. In 2004, Cornerstone Theater Company — a leader in diversity and performance for more than 30 years in the L.A. arts community — commissioned Randy to teach acting to lower-income youth. And in 2005, producers at The Walt Disney Concert Hall commissioned Randy to perform his Tramp from La Gioconda in a duet with the L.A. Philharmonic — in seven sold out performances that captured the hearts of audiences young and old. At that time, he was the only actor in the history of the L.A. Philharmonic to be invited to perform onstage with the renown orchestra.
Randy was honored in 2006 with a United States Artist Fellowship Nomination. And in 2008, Randy served as guest director and producer at Greenway Arts Alliance. Since 2020, Randy has been teaching acting at the Portland non-profit theatre arts organization: Rogue Pack.
His recent co-starring film and television credits include Wild with Reese Witherspoon, Grimm, Cabin Fever, and Cellar Door with Laurence Fishburne (2024).
