Please be advised: We do not allow prospective students to observe/audit classes. The reason for this is that we follow our founder Lee Strasberg’s principles and vision in perpetuity. Lee Strasberg once said: “Goethe said that an actor’s career develops in public, but the actor’s art develops only in private. The Institute exists to encourage that private process of creation.”
