NEW YORK ACTING CLASSES

---

New York acting classes are very limited. The classes take place at John Strasberg Studios. 555 8th Avenue, suite 810, between 37th and 38th Streets. Both the New York 8 week acting program and the Intensive Acting Workshops for Teachers, Directors, and Actors, 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 only need a tourist visa. You do not need to apply for a special visa. If you come from a country with an agreement for the Visa Waiver Program with the United States you need to apply to ESTA. Please read the rules concerning payments and refunds.

OSA is a deeply personal, functional analysis which develops the artists ability to read, understand and choose. Also, teachers and directors will develop a clear sense of what their teaching and/or director process is.
