ADMISSIONS

The New Actors Workshop, among New York's finest acting schools, operates on a rolling admission basis. Decisions are communicated to you approximately ten days after your audition. A maximum of 30 students are admitted to the first-year class. Applications are accepted throughout the year. (When a class is filled, we will accept applications for a waiting list.) Applicants for the master’s degree program must also apply and be accepted by Antioch University McGregor. Minimum requirement is a high school diploma. The average age of accepted students is 25. Students have come from the 50 states, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, England, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Taiwan.

To be considered for admission, a candidate must submit 1) a completed application 2) a recent photo and 3) a $40 non-refundable application fee. When the application and fee are received, we will contact you to schedule an audition.

AUDITION

Admission is by audition and interview in New York, or with our representatives in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Chicago, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Francisco. Applicants should prepare two contrasting monologues within a comfortable age range chosen from contemporary American drama for a total time of no more than six minutes. Notification of the results will be mailed.

AUDITING

We are not able to accommodate prospective students as auditors in any of the classes. However, it is possible to talk to members of the current student body and graduates about their experience. Please request a list following your audition.

SECOND YEAR

By invitation only. In contrast to some other acting schools, at least 95% of students are invited back. Our careful selection process makes this possible.
