A New Chapter in

Professional Training

LAPAC +
LACAE

The Los Angeles Community of Acting and Entertainment (LACAE) is collaborating with the Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory (LAPAC) to present our flagship Act III: Professional Training Program—a one-year career accelerator for emerging artists.


Founded in 1996, LAPAC is a licensed institution under the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) and accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST). Their longstanding commitment to excellence in performing arts education provides the academic framework and credentials that support our program.
​

Enrollment and certification are administered through LAPAC as they join us in our vision of offering this incredible program. This structure ensures students receive high-level instruction from a dedicated faculty along with access to recognized academic credit, certificates, and eligibility for both domestic and international enrollment.


Together, we’re expanding access to world-class training, vibrant creative spaces in Los Angeles, and a curriculum designed to launch careers in today’s evolving entertainment industry.
 

Support the cast of tomorrow.
Support LACAE.

LACAE exists because a community of artists believed something better was possible and then got to work building it. If you believe in the power of storytelling, in training that empowers, and in a more equitable future for the arts, we invite you to stand with us.

Person Applying Makeup
The Beginning

Future Artists of Los Angeles began as a response to a moment of urgency. We came together as alumni, faculty, students, and professionals determined to preserve world-class acting training in the heart of Los Angeles. While our original effort to protect a historic institution didn’t go as planned, it sparked something bigger — the realization that we could build something of our own. Something more inclusive, more forward-thinking, and rooted in the values we believe in.

Finding Rhythm

What we were trying to protect was never just a physical campus. It was a way of training: intensive, communal, and creatively rigorous. But that model also needed to evolve. We imagined a conservatory built not from tradition alone, but with artists of today in mind. A place that paired discipline with mentorship, craft with confidence, and learning with leadership. That moment of clarity became the turning point that led us from preservation to creation.

Dreams Come True

The Los Angeles Community of Acting and Entertainment (LACAE) is the next chapter in our story. It is a bold reimagining of conservatory training for a new generation. Built on the values of artistic integrity, equity, access, and collaboration, LACAE is more than a school. It’s a launchpad. A gathering space. A home. Here, artists are not only trained in their craft but empowered to create meaningful work and lead with intention. What began as an urgent call became a lasting commitment to the future of performance.

Gratitude

“They led by example. I’m the artist I am today not only because of the technique I learned from them, but because they showed me it was possible.

Jade Santana

“Working with them has redefined my definition of professionalism and preparation. I felt like I had been reborn, finding the fire that inspired me to be an actor in the first place." 

Sean Muramatsu

“Honest, encouraging, supportive, and committed to getting the very best from an actor. They see potential in everyone and their dedication and endurance make them an inimitable force."
