Welcome to the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University, the only MFA Program created and sanctioned by the Actors Studio. Our school offers the authenticity, continuity, and authority of the Stanislavski System and the Method.
A fundamental principle of the Stanislavski System and the work of the Actors Studio is to help the artist to discover, liberate, and disclose his or her individual expression. This requires special conditions that will allow the student-artist to feel safe, to trust, to take risks, and to grow, which the Actors Studio Drama School provides with its unique curriculum, superb faculty, and excellent facilities.

Charlotte Cohn, Bradley Cooper, Eisa Davis, David Dempsey, Corey Elias, Xanthe Elbrick, Sue Galloway, Canan Ergude, Richard Kuranda, Kari Jenseg, Polly Lee, Thesa Loving, Javier Molina, Matthew Sanders, Daniel L. Stern, Jason Odell Williams
