OUR ACTING STUDIO & THEATER
Playhouse West’s unique process has been brought to Philadelphia by long-tenured senior instructor and Artistic Director, Tony Savant. Mr. Savant is one of the foremost respected acting teachers in the country – who has trained hundreds of working actors, and many of the top actors in film and television. No teacher in Philadelphia has taught more working actors, and actors who work at the highest levels of industry, than Mr. Savant. His students can be seen working in major motion pictures and starring in television shows every night of the week. After almost 30 years in Los Angeles, he established the Playhouse West-Philadelphia branch in 2012.
