One of the world's premier acting studios, we are dedicated to inspiring and instructing artists in how to bring stories to life through the craft of acting. We work with the simple yet profoundly rewarding tenets of Depth, Imagination, and Truth. We teach artists how to utilize their individual uniqueness and life experience, fully exploring their Depth; how to engage in committed play and acceptance, strengthening the Imagination; and how to both practice and demand authenticity, fortifying their commitment to Truth. This is done through personal, guided instruction of legendary acting teacher Sanford Meisner’s technique: a step by step, sequential approach of exercises, improvisational work, and scenes. With more Academy Award nominated actors trained in this approach than any other technique, we believe fully in this way of working and in the artists that come through our doors.

This technique serves artists at any point in their journey, whether they are pre-professional, series regulars, starring in studio features, or anywhere in between. Our criterion is that the actor who studies here is truly committed to his or her craft and willing to learn through doing. We seek artists who ask, "how do I do a great job?" Not, "how do I get a great job?" Answering the former will bring about the latter! If you are an actor in pursuit of a deeper understanding and willing to become the best you can— to do the best work you are able— then we are excited to meet you!
