The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute

Three generations of American actors - from Marilyn Monroe and James Dean to Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro to Alec Baldwin and Angelina Jolie - have studied the Method and emerged as major talents. The Institute's Method Acting classes challenge you, the actor, to work on yourself as a creative artist, and, at the same time, work on the role - to leave behind conventional and cliched expression and find your own unique voice. At Strasberg you are taught to invoke yoru own sense of truth in every role and stress the way in which personal experience can free the imagination. This is the Strasberg Difference. This is the spark that turns an accomplished technician into an inspired artist. This is what makes an actor at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute an actor trained for success.
