Located in the heart of New York City, Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre provides a full-time conservatory atmosphere that concentrates on the artistic growth of the actor through a fusion of technical training in acting, movement, speech, voice and singing combined with a deeper understanding of the cultural values underlying a life devoted to the highest and most demanding artistic principles. The school offers the serious and committed student something few other acting schools can provide: a unique combination of devotion to a rich, specific tradition and a forward-looking concern for innovation, presented in a two year program and in summer workshops.
