Hybrid Meisner for Professional Teen’s Ages 12 – 17

Taught personally by Andrew Benne this weekly class is for San Diego’s elite teen actors. This class is for actors who have already worked with other acting studios and are already auditioning, have representation both locally and L.A. (or preparing for that). This class is not for beginning teens. The same technique and work taught to the adult studio actors will be taught to the teen actors.

Parents please understand that these young actors will be learning an entire new way of working, so audition or on camera work will not be done in their first eight week session.

The first 8 to 16 weeks is all technique work. After the teen actors are working at higher level than integration with adult actors is planned for improv, scene work and future showcases.

In the tradition of Sanford Meisner we also offer a two year certificate program, with the same amount of weeks and hours of his original program. 64 weeks or 384 hours of study.

Once you have completed 64 weeks or 384 and finished all the technique assignments specifically designed for you, than you will receive a certificate graduation performance ceremony at the studio.

All studio members come out to celebrate you becoming a graduate student.Everyone works at their own pace in our studio, so you can start collecting hours right away at your first class.

After you have completed the 64 weeks you will become a Graduate. Once a graduate you will also be awarded graduate reduced tuition rate for life.
