The full-time conservatory programs are the heart and soul of the Stella Adler Studio, the culmination of Stella’s vision for complete acting training. Since 1949, the Professional Conservatory has trained some of America’s most important actors and is considered one of the best in the nation. In these programs modeled after MFA graduate-level training, students gain tools and techniques to better engage their imagination, to analyze text deeply and accurately, and to create rich, specific characters; while also preparing for the creative challenges of the New York and Hollywood industries in Film, Television, and Theater.
