Founded with Sanford Meisner and authorized to use his name...

The Sanford Meisner Center believes that the purpose of an acting school is to get you working professionally. And that begins with Professional Level training. To do something well, you need to do it every day. With these tenets in mind, we’ve developed amazingly powerful programs to get you results. Guided by Martin Barter, a master teacher, you will experience a series of interdependent, sequential exercises. You will absorb these core building blocks of one of the strongest acting foundations available. They create in you an emotionally live actor of depth, imagination and truth. Our programs are the most effective way to digest the Meisner Technique and make it second nature. We teach the Meisner Technique the way Sandy taught it. The results speak for themselves. Graduates have won 10 Academy Awards, 8 Emmys and 6 Tonys.
