“To Illuminate The Life Of The Human Spirit”
There is only one real Actors Studio, the actors’ workshop long associated with “method acting”, headquartered in New York City with a branch in West Hollywood, California. This site is presented by TheatrGROUP, a St. Louis based online actors’ information site which offers lessons in method acting procedures learned at the Actors Studio, and at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. This site is not officially affiliated with the Actors Studio.

Ostrovsky (Published in 1917), and another very interesting article: Founders of the Modern Theatre, By Harold Clurman (Theatre Workshop, January – March, 1937). Several valuable links are included in this section to lead the interested artist to further reading.
