Virginia Scott co-founded the Funny School of Good Acting where she taught Clown, Commedia and Bouffon. For over 15 years, she has been on the faculty of Movement Theatre Studio where (over the Pandemic) she designed and taught a brand-new, comprehensive Physical Comedy pedagogy. Also (when we were all inside), she began SomeClowns who perform new, original works regularly at such places as The Visionary (where they also received a residency and to which they will return in the summer of 2024 to make a brand-new, big-venue-ready extravaganza! Watch out!). SomeClowns were selected three years in a row to perform in the NYC Open Streets Program through which they have performed outdoors in many wonderful NYC neighborhoods. In 2018 Virginia created The Commedia Company, to perform contemporary, original, partially improvised Commedia shows. The Commedia Company appeared at The Nuyorican Poet’s Café, Jack, The Shakespeare Forum and Cloud City (among other places). She also founded and directed Les Enfant Maudit, a Bouffon troupe, which raised hell and stirred upon trouble all around Los Angeles in the wake of the 2016 election.

Virginia teaches/has taught approaches such as Clown, Commedia, Larval Mask, Character Mask, Physical Comedy, Bouffon, Play, Gestural Language, Scene Study/Acting, and Melodrama at schools such as The Juilliard School, Tisch School of the Arts at NYU: International Theatre Workshop in Amsterdam; Meisner Studio; Stella Adler Studio; and Open Arts Studio, CAP 21, Bard College, Pace University, Marymount Manhattan College, USC (MFA), ACT (MFA), Brooklyn College (MFA), the Clown School, the Idiot Workshops, Michael Howard Studio, and Berg Studios. Recently, she has begun to tour, teaching sold out workshops in Philadelphia, Scranton, Providence and Los Angeles. Throughout she has had the privilege of coaching a myriad of performers (stand-ups, storytellers, circus artists, physical comedians - even podiatrists) to create more effective shows and routines from China to Ireland to Canada and across the USA. 

​

In addition to her companies, Virginia has created Commedia shows including Signifying Nothing, a performance in concert with a full orchestra (kinda weird but super fun!) for Symphony in the Glen at the Griffith Park stage in Los Angeles, another Commedia show for the Fowler museum at UCLA, Masc4Mask (a queer-themed multi-mask one person show), Jarrod Bates: Out of the Box and Onto Your Face, The Brighella Brother Sausage Shop, and a Commedia show at The Yale School of Drama, sadly unseen by the public due to the Pandemic. Virginia also created full-length comedy or Clown shows with The Happy Hour Comedy Trio, Mishna Wolf, Dave Konig, Ryan Paulson, Sara Barron and Tom Schillue (who spread the word that Virginia creates a good feedback system for a comic because she laughs loud at the same joke over and over - as along as it's still funny!) Additional credits: Sapo Cancionero: Live Your Heart Out (original clown show in English and Spanish) and Planet Banana which enjoyed an extended off-Broadway run at Ars Nova. She did some devising for Disney (despite not being able to name a single princess beyond Cinderella and never ever visiting the park! Don't tell 'em!), dramaturgy for the Obie-award nominated F*cking Up Everything, and shows on the treteau for Stella Adler and Montclair State University. Traditional directing credits included, Waiting For Godot, The Government Inspector, The Birds and Reckless.

​

Virginia's shows have appeared at Ars Nova Mainstage, 59E59, The Irish Repertory Theatre, The Zipper Theatre, UCB, The PIT, Nuyorican Poet’s Café, Jack, The Shakespeare Forum, The Tank, The New York Fringe Festival and the International Clown Festival; The US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, The Comedy Central Theatre, the Hollywood Fringe, and UCBLA in Los Angeles, and internationally at The Guilded Balloon in Edinburgh, The Centaur Theatre in Montreal and the Grahamstown International Festival in South Africa.
