Professional training for actors, directors, playwrights…

LOCATION: 248 W 35th St. 14th Floor, New York, NY 10001 (between 7th & 8th Aves) only a few steps from PENN STATION and PORT AUTHORITY.

The Acting Studio - New York is an acting conservatory and performing arts studio of distinction located in the heart of the New York City historical theatre district. The Studio founding director, James Price, who was a personal friend and protégé to the legendary acting instructor Sanford Meisner, and his staff of Studio associates have been training actors, directors and playwrights ongoing since 1983.


The programs and classes are designed to train actors, directors and writers who seek professional careers in the fields of Film, Television and Theatre.  In addition to the studio classes and training programs, we offer practical experience opportunites in conjunction with off off Broadway's Chelsea Repertory Company play festivals, as well as our extracurricular acting and directing opportunities available to all of our students (acting, directing, play writing) and studio alumni through the Chelsea Rep LAB's monthly sessions. The success of many of our students has earned the Studio recognition for developing award-winning talent.

The Acting Studio - New York ranks as one of the most-respected schools for acting classes in New York City.

STATEMENT OF SUPPORT: The Acting Studio – New York stands in solidarity with communities of color and with all those who, through their participation in peaceful, non-violent protest, seek justice for acts of violence against people of color by law enforcement and an end to the systemic racism that pervades our culture.

Welcome… From the Director
James headshotmainwebsite
Welcome to The Acting Studio - New YorkMany years ago I imagined creating a place where actors not only could study acting but one where they could also gain invaluable, practical experience by actually doing it in performances to the public. Since its first inception in 1983, the Studio has provided students with the kind of professional actor training needed to develop themselves into first-rate craftsmen. The Studio has also provided them with a home-base wherein they can gain experience outside the classroom which complements their classroom training and helps them in the transition from the classroom into the acting industry.
