The Actors Gymnasium Vision...

Since 1995, The Actors Gymnasium has been guided by the vision of a revitalized American theatre: one with performances as thrilling as a rock concert, as breath-taking as the circus and as mesmerizing as an escape artist act.

To that end, we have dedicated ourselves to the education and development of multi-skilled, theatre artists.

We believe that actors and directors who combine performance disciplines such as dance, music, circus acrobatics and puppetry, can take theatre to its greatest heights, while discovering its deepest truths.

We also believe that this multi-disciplinary study can provide our students with healthy careers, and a foundation for lifelong learning, creativity and confidence in their life-pursuits.

At The Actors Gymnasium people learn to fly - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and creatively.
