I'd searched plenty of places in Los Angeles to take classes. Audited a few, took classes at others. It's a real group of actors here that love to act. It's the kind of place that reminded me why I began acting in the first place.
The teachers are respectful, smart, and know what each student needs individually. And they challenge you in a way that's both respectful and growth oriented. They certainly don't hold your hand, but they don't batter you either. If you like to work and explore, this place offers you that in the class and within the attached theater company. It's a great place.
Also, they're very profession oriented. They want to see you working so they'll do everything they can to help.
At the very least go watch a master class and see for yourself. I've learned some great things from just sitting in on those classes..
