History… Tradition… Legacy…

We believe that the purpose of an acting school is to get you working professionally. And that begins with Professional Level training. Training that has worked for over 70 years and continues to work today, for a new generation of actors. Overseen by Martin Barter, a master teacher, you will be taught one of the strongest acting foundations available today. Our commitment to Sandy’s legacy is to maintain the technique as he left it behind. We come from a rich history and deep tradition, as noted by The New York Times, Backstage, and Variety.

Free Introductory Session – Los Angeles
Sunday December 15th at 7pm.

This session is actually the very first class of the program. The exercises and discussions will give you a better understanding of the Meisner Technique, and our teaching of it. You do not need to be interviewed to participate in this session. It’s open to anyone interested in ‘auditing’ a class. Call or email to reserve a spot.

Many of our students are working professionals looking to deepen and expand their craft. Read what some of them have to say.

Deron Horton

DeRon Horton (Dear White People/American Vandal) – “Other classes were super technical and heady. Mechanical. I am not a mechanic.”

 

Jonathan Freudman

Jonathan Freudman (En Otra Piel, Eva La Trailera) – “I never thought that acting could be so straight forward.”
