Level II and IV
Focus on developing ensemble and performance skills by working on fully-staged play productions. The Acting Program classes meet twice a week at each of these levels and outside rehearsal time is required. Voice, Speech, Alexander Technique, and Movement classes are offered in conjunction with the program at various points.
Admission to each class and level of The Acting Program is by the Studio director's selection and advancement to a higher level made by faculty decision. A Certificate of Completion is awarded to students who have successfully completed all levels of the program. The Acting Program participants also have a variety of opportunities outside the classroom for growth at The Acting Studio, Inc. including laboratory projects and performance practice through Chelsea Repertory Company and Chelsea Rep Lab.
