Fall Registration

All of our fall classes are full to capacity.  Call today to get on the wait-list.

We strongly encourage you to contact us today if you want a spot in our fall classes. Some of the classes do not have long wait-lists, so there is a possibility you still may be able to take fall classes.  If you want to be sure not be closed out of classes in the spring, inquire today about pre-registration or our early admission program.

Summer Teen Immersion Course

This class fills months in advance.  It's not to early to register for summer 2011.  

The Teen Immersion Course has concluded for the summer of 2010. However, it's not too early to register for next year.  This class filled months in advance.  If you would like to register your teen for the summer of 2011, we encourage you to do so by January 2011 or they may be closed out of the class.  

This class will begin the second week in August and will run for three weeks.

For more info on our teen class, read this Ithaca Times article.

This survey course is constructed specifically for kids 12-16.  Students spend three days a week immersing themselves in Meisner Technique basics and one day a week learning on-camera audition technique. Each child will take a DVD home of his or her on-camera work after each on-camera class.  Please call today for more details.

The number of students in this class is kept extremely small so your child can receive a high degree individualized coaching.  

  • Ages: 12-16
  • Monday-Thursday 12.00pm- 3.30pm (these times are subject to change)
  • This class will include three days of technique work and one day of on-camera audition prep.

Coaching

We offer private lessons.

Individual coaching for dialect work and audition monologues is available on an hourly basis. Contact us to find out more.

I have yet to find a teacher of Eliza's caliber in L.A. Ithaca is lucky to have her.

Repetition in class

I am not the same person that I was six semesters ago - that is a cold, solid fact. Meisner has, without being mushy about it, changed my life.
