About the program
The theater program at New World School of the Arts is dedicated to the professional training of talented and committed students interested in pursuing a performing career in Acting and Music Theater. At NWSA, theater students have the opportunity to work in a hands-on intensive, physically demanding, artistically challenging, and exciting environment, guided by faculty who are professional actors, directors, playwrights and designers. The curriculum guides students toward the ownership of a personal technique and a comprehensive methodology of working. Their training on the classical texts and the principles of drama make practical incursions into the contemporary and experimental edges of theater, while performance, an essential part of the theater training, is approached in a sequential, progressive manner to give the student vision, strength, and a sense of purpose in the theater.
