Established acting professionals achieve rapid, profound results from our work. Because Jason Bennett studied all the major acting systems, he can tune into your acting process and offer you tools to take your work to the next level -- and then the next level after that. We don't teach only one set of rules about acting, like those old-fashioned acting systems with a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, Jason Bennett has mastered the principles underlying all the work of the great 20th Century teachers. The tools he offers are tailored to you and are specific, practical and profound.

This saves you time, heartache and money. Jason Bennett doesn't believe acting should be approached as a cold business. We're in this because our lives are devoted to service through entertainment. The atmosphere of our school is fun, supportive and safe, while maintaining the highest professional standards.

You will find our school a place that is without gossip and manipulative games. And you may be surprised at how much modern acting tools have been developed during the last 30 years. The older, corporate schools still don't know about many of the most powerful acting tools -- like Archetype Work and Dream Work for actors. Our faculty has not only mastered the old-fashioned systems, we've moved way beyond them! And we're sure all the great teachers of the 20th Century would be thrilled at what we're doing.

You are invited to call and speak with Jason Bennett personally. Jason speaks with all potential students who have previous training, and that reflects the very personal nature of our work. And go here to read about our new retreat house in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania. We're also forming a professional acting company, because there are so many super-talented actors within our New York acting school. We look forward to speaking with you very soon about how we may be of service to you.
