I'd also be interested in hearing any opinions... Anyone out there been a student there? I haven't had a chance to audit yet, but it's on my list of schools to check out... I'm guessing you're reserving negative feedback, SAM? I thought it was supposed to be one of the top acting schools in LA?

They're considered one of the top scene study schools. I don't know how it is after the passing of Milton Katselas in late October.

One thing you can do is go to Samuel French and read Milton's Book, "Acting Class: Take a Seat." This is the book version of the textbook the students use at the Beverly Hills Playhouse that was finally released to the public around the time of Milton's passing.

Have they tried to push Scientology on you, yet?

PLEASE comment. PM me if you want. I was thinking about trying it myself. Yes, I have heard many things, good and bad but I want to know what you think and why.

I have friends who studied there. Their biggest complaint was the fact that you DON'T get to work every class. It's a huge auditorium with a lot of students.

Yeah, that's exactly my concern. It's why I've left other "top tier" acting schools in the past.

Good question. First of all know that I am not involved nor interested in being involved with Scientology. That said,

Nobody has tried to force it on me personally. What i would tell you is that from my experience 1 out of 5/6 students have at least dabbled in it. Meaning they have at least taken a class.

I know this is a late response as I forgot about this post but I wanted to respond so that people dont think im involved with Sci.... Smiler
