The Stella Adler Center for International Theater Studies and Exchange: I-Center
In an effort to reinvigorate American actor training and, in turn, American Theater, the Stella Adler Center for International Theater Studies and Exchange (or I-Center) was formalized in 2007. Through the I-Center, the Stella Adler Studio aims to bring great theater traditions to the school’s facility in New York City and share the Adler tradition with passionate international partners. The I-Center aims to educate and cultivate faculty as well as enrich the artistic lives of students and, ultimately, the American theater-going public.
For more information or for an Executive Summary of the I Center please contact Nina Capelli at (212)689-0087, ext. 27
