Phoenix Theatre - Only Source to Receive Meisner Acting Technique Training

The Meisner Acting Technique has been a key component to the Phoenix Theatre’s education program since January 2014. Students must audition and commit to a 24-month intensive program.  

The Meisner approach trains actors through a series of exercises over several months to deeply connect to scripts. The first year is devoted to the exercises developed by Meisner to help actors work as themselves under imaginary circumstances. The second year is about crafting authentic characters and building on the tools learned in the first year. Through constant repetition the work helps develop solid and artistic habits that become muscle memory.
