Their teaching relationship in the classroom training actors lasted for ten years, from 1973 - 1983. Ms. Adler taught many actors, but very few teachers. Aside from Mr. Burrus, only Elizabeth Parrish, who currently teaches at the NY studio, are honored to be able to pass on to the present generation of actors the depth of the Adler tradition. In 1984, the Ron Burrus Studio was opened to train film actors in Los Angeles and in the summer of 2007 merged with Stella Adler Academy to continue on the tradition of teaching. Mr. Burrus teaches classes and coaches in NYC during the Fall and the remainder of the time is in Los Angeles. He is currently writing a book on acting.
