Founded in 1949, the Stella Adler Studio New York & the Art of Acting Studio Los Angeles occupy a unique place in the history of both theater and actor training in the United States. Rooted in the spirit of Stella Adler, and the insight that growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous, students are challenged on every level by world-class faculty and by a mission to nurture theater artists so that they value humanity, their own and others, as their first priority, while bringing art and education to the community.

In Los Angeles, the studio's name is the Art of Acting Studio, named after Stella Adler's most famous book; for more information, visit www.artofactingstudio.com.
