About Me

Oh, hey! Didn't see you there; my name is Larisa. I'm an actress, improviser, and director based in the charming town of Staunton, Virginia. I am passionate about movement work, improv, and classical theatre. I began my journey into theater with Commedia Dell’Arte, where I fell in love with clowning and bardic performance. 

I hold a B.S. in Marketing and a B.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Pittsburgh and an M.Litt. in Shakespeare & Performance from Mary Baldwin University. When I’m not on stage or in class, I'm most likely glaivanting at a Renaissance fair or sewing in the costume shop.
