For four decades, Sidney Berger helped aspiring stage stars rise from the University of Houston's School of Theatre & Dance and ascend to professional heights. Some headed to Hollywood while others made their way to regional stages and classrooms. No matter where they went, Berger viewed each of his students as shining products of theater education at its finest.
Johnny Galecki, Rita Moreno, Jimmy Smits, Hugh Jackman and Miriam Shor are among the theatre veterans who will appear on CBS' new fall line-up of shows.
