All classes are at John Strasberg Studios, 555 8th Avenue, suite 403, between 37th and 38th streets.

New York classes are small. Both the 10 week sessions and the Intensive Workshops fill up 3 months in advance. To reserve a space, it is best to plan well in advance, and notify us of your desire to participate as far in advance as possible. Even then, we cannot guarantee that you will have a space until the ongoing session ends, and actors currently working have committed to the next session or released their space. Sessions are organized well in advance to permit actors to make their plans. Because the session is less than 3 months long, you do not need to apply for a special visa. Please read the rules concerning payments and refunds
