About This Show

My Life in the Silents continues the international artistic exchange between students from the United States and England.

In this playful new comedy set in Hollywood’s silent film era, a precocious teenager flees small-town Minnesota to chase her dream of becoming a movie star in Los Angeles, but discovers the road to fame isn’t exactly paved with gold.

My Life in the Silents is packed with fresh theatricality, silent film antics, vaudevillian flavor, and a cast of sparkling characters–including real-life celebrity gossip columnist Louella Parsons–all played by members of A.C.T.’s renowned Young Conservatory.
