Affordable full or part-time conservatories in June, July, or August offer sixteen+ electives, taught in seven multi-camera studios, in the heart of New York City’s theater district. Our professional working instructors and our successful working graduates attest to our dedication and commitment to excellence. ACTeen develops dedicated pre-professionals into technically proficient, versatile, and marketable actors. By successfully combining theater fundamentals with spontaneous, effective on-camera acting techniques, students learn to successfully create both film and theater roles with skill and professionalism.
ACTeen is located in an office building near Rockefeller Center and New York’s Broadway Theater district, convenient to all major transportation hubs. Summer students come to ACTeen from across the United States and overseas. The staff is composed of working actors, directors and casting professionals, many of whom teach at other universities and conservatories. Small classes, (8-12 students max) grouped by age and ability enable a close personal relationship between students and faculty. Hundreds of ACTeen graduates have achieved successful careers in films, television, and on Broadway, starring on TV series (Friday Night Lights, One Tree Hill, The Sopranos, That 70’s Show, Charmed,) each of the last ten years.
