  • Sadly closing. Teaching 2nd to none. Prepares you for the hardest aspects of acting in “the real world”. Check out The School. Same schooling with new director. Sure to keep the highest quality of training to be offered.

  • Hard to recommend. I did one of the 4-day introductory courses. Many of the teachers are brilliant and truly delightful, but you barely get an hour with those. The owner of the school is pretty unpleasant and uninspiring. Can't imagine doing a longer term course here.

  • Very bad experience in the two-year course, you get harassed and bullied in front of everyone. The director in particular is known to be a creep, and everybody at my time questioned his sanity.
