This initiative resulted in a three-year master's degree program that is unique in its side-by-side training of acting, directing and playwriting students. Classes are taught by experienced, distinguished Life Members of The Actors Studio in a course sequence that culminates with the Repertory Season.
James Lipton is the Dean Emeritus of The Actors Studio Drama School. The current presidents of The Actors Studio are Ellen Burstyn, Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino.
