AN AUDIT IS REQUIRED TO ENROLL AT PLAYHOUSE WEST

The training at Playhouse West is fully endorsed by Sanford Meisner. There are only a handful of people personally trained by Sanford Meisner to teach his technique. Robert Carnegie is part of this very select group. All of the teachers at Playhouse West have learned Mr. Meisner's approach and have been specifically trained to teach it.
