What our students say 

Picture
A truly wonderful place to study acting and numerous other facets of creative work. The two and a half years I had there was a blast. Friendly, experienced teachers, great learning environment, and many opportunities to challenge myself creatively, as well as have fun. They also helped me develop skills and tools for performance that I still use today for creative jobs. Highly recommended!
​- Michael Ubrihien
