Open Houses & Tours

Open Houses - join us!

Join us for one of our upcoming Open House events and discover why The Neighborhood Playhouse has been a cornerstone of professional actor training since 1928. More than an introduction, these events offer a rare opportunity to step inside the tradition of conservatory training—an immersive, hands-on approach to the craft of acting that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Whether you’re just beginning your artistic journey or seeking to deepen your skills, this is your chance to experience our renowned Two-Year Professional Actor Training Program and meet the master teachers who bring it to life.

**Bonus: All Open House attendees will receive a waiver for the $75 application fee.**
