My daughter has been around NYC for a while so we’ve gotten some feel for non-degree acting programs in NYC. She’s at Stella Adler this summer and loves it.

We’re looking at these programs as a backup to degree programs as well. Personally, I think programs like Stella Adler, Atlantic & Neighborhood Playhouse and like are better and more solid acting training than AMDA or NYCDA. From reading these forums, I’m somewhat surprised how AMDA, NYCDA and AADA come up much more often in discussion. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that those schools tend to push their name out more. As an aside, as between the three – AMDA, NYCDA and AADA – i think AADA has the best reputation of the three and would be the only one my daughter might include as a backup.
