Video: Kickstart Your Career on Stage and Screen with Atlantic Acting School

When it comes to shaping your acting skills, Atlantic Acting School is the place to be. The revered institution is a presenting sponsor of BroadwayWorld's Next On Stage: Season 6, granting two winners a scholarship to its Summer Teen Conservatory in 2026. 

"I think what I'm most proud of  is the technique- the way it has not only been thriving all these years, but I am very proud that we have been allowing it to evolve and grow. It's so beautiful and it really, you can create any character," Atlantic Acting School Executive Director Mary McCann told Next On Stage host Ben Cameron. "If you look at the actors who come out of Atlantic, they're chameleons, they can do anything.  And I'm most proud of seeing people who are sort of unrecognizable from role to role and medium to medium. It really,  really works."

Founded in 1985, the renowned Atlantic Acting School is one of the best acting schools in New York City. As the only acting conservatory offering in-depth training in Practical Aesthetics—the Atlantic Technique, as outlined in A Practical Handbook for the Actor—Atlantic equips aspiring actors with unmatched creative, technical, and professional skills.
