Atlantic Theater Company and Atlantic Acting School, one of the premiere actor training studios in New York City, have announced The Practical Aesthetics Scholarship.

The internationally acclaimed Atlantic Acting School has helped aspiring actors fulfill their dreams for over 30 years. Founded by David Mamet and William H. Macy, Atlantic has the only conservatory program in the world that offers in depth training in Mamet and Macy's unique and influential approach to the acting profession: Practical Aesthetics.

Two actors will be awarded with a full scholarship to Atlantic Acting School's Professional Conservatory Program. The prestigious scholarship award celebrates three decades of Atlantic's innovation and will be awarded based on merit. The deadline for the complete application is December 15, 2014.

"We want students to concentrate on honing their craft while attending Atlantic, and dealing with financial issues can take away from that focus," said School Executive Director Mary McCann, "The Practical Aesthetics Scholarship will lighten the economic load for two hard working students and give them the chance to fully invest themselves in the work."

Atlantic Acting School's Professional Conservatory includes a full time, two and a half year program which provides actors with a solid acting technique, professional habits, performance experience, and support in entering the profession, as well as an Evening Conservatory designed for actors best served by an evening schedule.

Graduates of Atlantic's Professional Conservatory include Amelia Rose Blaire of HBO's True Blood, Jarrod Spector of Broadway's Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and Nick Stevenson of Netflix's Orange Is The New Black.

Atlantic Acting School's mission is to ensure that each graduate masters the essential analytical and physical disciplines of acting, as well as to empower every student with skills necessary for success in the profession.

Atlantic Acting School is located at 76 Ninth Avenue (between 15th & 16th Streets) in New York City.
