Larry Neumann Jr

Larry Neumann Jr, born in Chicago to his parents Pat and Larry Sr., a man born to be a well-known theatre artist. He encountered theatre when he was in sophomore year in Thomwood High School. Larry gives all the credit to his teacher Pat Wozny, who motivated and mentored him for theatre for his life. Larry performed his first role as Alan Strang in EQUUS. He began his theatre career like other college lads by assisting in an only Equity house in far south suburbs, Illinois Theatre Centre in Park Forest. From his experience in this theatre, he learnt that for the theatre to be run successfully, it needs much more effort than what was taught at school.

He has taken part in over 70 theatrical productions in 32 different theatres. He has appeared in several outstanding shorts and many feature films.
