Ronald Rand has performed among, but was also trained by giants of the theatre. An actor known around the world for his portrayal of Harold Clurman in the one-man show "Let It Be Art!" Rand outlines not only his own life and career, but that of many of his peers in "Solo Transformation On Stage: A Journey into the Organic Process of the Art of Transformation," his latest release on Brown Posey Press.

Rand provides anecdotes of being trained by the likes of Clurman and Stella Adler (whose students included Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro and many more), and insights from contemporaries into how they create the space necessary to become whom they portray onstage. Contemporaries such as Angelica Page, Christopher Plummer and Ben Vereen share these, and Rand includes photographs of his own transformation, plus Constantin Stanislavski's famous "Method of Physical Actions."

In addtion to performing, Rand is a playright, educator and librettist. He is publisher of "The Soul of the American Actor" periodical,  and the books, "Acting Teachers of America" and "Create! How Extraordinary People Live to Create and Create to Live."
