ACTION!

Proven Success

“The Act III certificate program I’m enrolled in, in addition to regularly taking workshops at the main campus, has expanded me as an artist in so many ways already. I am directing, writing, producing, and acting in short films tailored to highlight me as an individual, unique performer as well as being challenged by industry professionals to meet my highest potential.

Rosie Ryden

ACT III Student

"Honestly, one of the best choices I have ever made. In one semester ACT III has helped me advance my career more than my last two years in LA. Likeminded people, a great support group of artists, professors that actively work in the industry and can give real feedback. Never felt more inspired and/or more prepared to but myself creatively out there. Would recommend to any actor who wishes to have more control over their careers and are ready to create."

Maria Luiza Graciano

ACT III Student

“My daughter attends here and she couldn't be happier. They provide her with so support, education, and encouragement. We're so happy that she's there. I highly recommend..“
