Professional theater training is offered in four areas, or options, of<br />

concentration: Acting, Advanced Acting, Costuming, and Technical Theatre.<br />

The Theatre Academy at <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> City College has firmly established<br />

itself as one of the most highly respected professional theater training<br />

institutions in the United States. Since its founding in 1929, the professional<br />

theatre training program of the Academy has been dedicated to developing<br />

the skills, crafts, and attitudes of students to prepare them for careers in the<br />

professional theater.<br />

The Theatre Academy is dedicated to the training of talented, serious students<br />

who wish to pursue a career in the professional theatre. All prospective<br />

Academy students are required to apply for admission to the Theatre Academy<br />

(Theatre Production Office, Theatre Building 208. All candidates are required<br />

to audition and/or interview before being invited to train at the Academy.<br />

Those interested in training at the Academy should call the Theatre Production<br />

Office (323) 953-4000 ext. 2990 to set up an audition/interview.<br />

The training that Theater Academy students receive is stimulating,<br />

broadening, exacting, and intense. A limited number of openings are available<br />

both Fall and Spring semester to those students who are highly motivated,<br />

aggressive, exceptionally talented, and responsible.<br />

Information concerning audition/interview requirements is available in the<br />

Theatre Production Office of the Theatre Department. Any actor interested<br />

in pursuing training at the Theatre Academy must exhibit competence in<br />

spoken English, relatively free of dialects and regional accents, so that faulty<br />

understanding or articulation does not become a hindrance in the training.<br />

All prospective Acting majors must consult with a member of the faculty before<br />

auditioning. Prospective Technical Theatre and Costume majors must consult<br />

with a faculty member in the appropriate area of interest within the Academy.<br />
