From The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre
The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre is a full-time acting conservatory located in the heart of New York City. Our approach focuses on the artistic growth of the actor through technical training in acting, movement, speech, and voice. We offer the serious acting student what few other acting schools can provide – a rich tradition of excellence in actor training coupled with the practical skills for building a career. We remain the only conservatory where the faculty was trained to teach acting by Sanford Meisner himself. Given the passion and skill of our instructors, it’s no surprise The Cambridge Guide to Theatre (Cambridge University Press) described The Neighborhood Playhouse as the most respected acting school in the country and first among all professional training programs. The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre is a non-profit, tax-exempt school of training for actors, accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST).

The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre Reviews
I am incredibly grateful to be part of this extraordinary school and it is personally remarkable how much I have grown and learned so much since the program started.
I admit that in the beginning I hoped we would practice more scenes and monologues, although I am starting to understand and appreciate why our curriculum is shaped the way it is, allowing us to master completely multiple skills without rushing things, but allowing us to learn everything from zero. We are fortunate enough to have live music during Modern Dance and Music class. Our curriculum is complete and perfectly shaped to allow us to become great professional actors.
The classrooms are always clean, and so are the locker rooms, the showers and restrooms. The staff is very friendly, always answering to our emails on time and letting us know of any discounted tickets and events. They have also been extremely helpful when it comes to finding accommodation.
I could not be happier in this school.
