I am curious what it is that would concern you about Playwrights Horizons. I know that some people worry that it appears not to “just” focus on acting, but the reality is that students obtain rigorous vocal and physical training while also learning what it means to be a performer in a 3-D setting (aka the stage) – understanding how the visual elements and interpretive decisions inform the actor’s work. The students don’t study design and directing from a technical standpoint; these classes help them make narrative come alive on stage and understand how production choices influence how a work is portrayed and how it can make an audience feel.

The different facets of PH studio all reinforce each other in supporting each actor’s development and it is an extremely creative environment for the students.
