Meisner, etc.) Tweens, or Great Pretenders, which regularly work to the individual’s level.

20% Off Classes!
THIS OPTION IS AVAILABLE THROUGH ONLINE REGISTRATION ONLY THROUGH A PERSONAL CODE PROVIDED BY THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR. If you are paying through other methods, we’ll do the math and let you know what your discounted total will be.
You can get 20% off a class when you take another class (or two) of equal or greater value at the same time—classes must overlap by at least one week. For instance, register for Scene Study ($375.00) and take Intro to TV/Film ($275) for only $$220!
Remember, this offer is only good on classes you take concurrently, so don’t wait to take advantage of this terrific deal! To make it even easier, you can still take advantage of the deferred payment plan on one or both of the classes (see “Payment Policy” above).
This discount is not available to work-study students.
Please Note: “NEW COURSE PRICING”, Summer workshops/NYC Showcase programs feature their own specials and built in discounts: the 20% discount does NOT apply.
