Acting Intensive Program

The Acting Intensive Program is specially designed for aspiring actors who are ready to bring the tools and techniques of their training into a professional environment.

SCR’s Acting Intensive Program will:

• Provide you with comprehensive instruction and candid feedback from industry professionals
• Equip you with insights and practical tools for possible career paths in theatre, television, and film
• Guide you toward a plan of action with which you can continue to strengthen and deepen your talent

All classes are held in the stimulating environment of Tony Award-winning ​SCR, one of the nation's leading resident theatres. In small classes, students benefit from a consistent opportunity to work and challenge themselves daily. A distinguished faculty of working theatre artists provides the highest quality instruction, including individualized career feedback.

SCR’s access to Southern California's vibrant entertainment industry allows the program to offer special seminars by distinguished guest artists drawn from the area's rich pool of theatre, film and television professionals. The program culminates in a final scene presentation on the Julianne Argyros Stage to which company members may invite family, friends, and industry guests.

You may be able to get school credit for this program. Please speak with your school representative.
