The Acting Program At...

We are a two-year, intensive acting program designed for students who desire to pursue careers in theatre, film and television. We invite you to apply for admission to this unique training program.  Why?

We are confident that by studying at Chattanooga State, you can significantly optimize your chances for success in this demanding field. Plus, the Professional Actor Training Program affords you the opportunity to pursue your dream at a fraction of the cost of other training schools!

We offer the newest discoveries in actor training. The curriculum is modeled after The New Actors Workshop, a training program in New York City founded by George Morrison, Mike Nichols, and Paul Sills. The training is intense, yet our style creates a supportive environment. True learning emerges not from a fearful response to authoritarian demands that is common in most professional training programs, but from a courageous exploration of the craft led by skilled, patient teachers who guide you into becoming an autonomous, spontaneous, self-reflective artist.

We have an excellent faculty that will support, encourage, and lead you through the personal, transformative experience of professional actor training.
