Stella Adler Academy of Acting

Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre – Los Angeles is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to uplifting and enriching our collective humanity through film, television and theatre. Driven by the belief that growth as an actor and growth as a person is the same, our Academy & Theatre provides the tools, training, and discipline to nurture and support actors who are committed not only to the art form but to building a career in acting.

Acceptance is based on the completed application and interview (conducted over Google Meet).
