How We Are Different

• Our small size -- 35 to 60 students, 12 faculty -- creates an intimacy with classmates and instructors that facilitates your growth as an actor.

• The curriculum includes 15-18 hours a week of acting classes (scene work and technique including 8 full hours with Master Teacher George Morrison) compared to an average of six in other schools.

• Our curriculum gives you access to the newest to the newest discoveries in actor training, many of which are unique to the Workshop.

• Our balance between performance-oriented improvisational work (theater games) and scripted, rehearsed scene work enhances your flexibility.

• Above and beyond the technical work, our understanding of and focus on the creative process increases your capacity to surprise yourself.

• Our supportive, respectful environment allows you to feel safe to explore your personal boundaries.

• We do not dismiss half of our first year class as is the practice in many schools. 95% continue into the second year.

• Performances in scene nights, improvisational shows and Story Theater give you three distinctively different experiences in front of an audience.
