Due to the recent surge of Coronavirus infections in Los Angeles County, we are forced to postpone the school’s reopening until further notice.  We will resume with the reopening plan once we feel confident that we can provide a safe working environment for our students and staff.
UNTIL WE REOPEN IN LOS ANGELES, CHECK OUT THE ONLINE CLASSES WE ARE OFFERING AT THIS TIME!

Our Playhouse West-Philly classes are accepting appointments to audit. Please click here for more details.

PLAYHOUSE WEST, the acting school and repertory theatre founded by Robert Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum, provides expert Meisner training. In addition, we offer year-round stage and film opportunities to exercise and develop the actor’s craft and create highly skilled, professional, genuine artists.


​THE PLAYHOUSE WEST PROGRAM

COURSES

• Acting
• Filmmaking
• Play Production
• Comedy Improv
​• Screenwriting

WORKSHOPS:

in our three theaters, showcasing our students for the industry

FILM FESTIVAL:

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.
