Our workshop will be led by Executive Director, Pamela Moller Kareman. Participants will be guided through core exercises and principles and learn practical skills immediately applicable to their acting. Meisner Acting: Living in the Moment  provides an opportunity to experience the Meisner Technique as developed by Sanford Meisner at The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and perfected during his fifty-six years of teaching there. 

Meisner technique is designed to improve the actor’s concentration and strengthen the actor’s instrument to be both responsive and expressive within the imaginary circumstances. The Meisner technique develops a more specific, skilled, and authentic actor with an organic, spontaneous, and disciplined instrument. This technique is tried and true for theatre, film, television, and entertainment. Learn more about our 90 year legacy of excellence in actor training on our Alumni page.

We will also be holding auditions for The Neighborhood Playhouse during our stay in London and holding a one-day, 3hr master Meisner Class Workshop on Monday, February 11th, 2019.  If you would like to audition for the Neighborhood Playhouse and/or attend the Meisner Workshop, then please contact us to sign-up today. Both require advance scheduling and registration.
