Foundational classes

Students learn the NAS method, focusing on script analysis and camera appropriateness. This is where the NAS community begins. Students are introduced to the NAS script analysis worksheet and how to use it while working in class on scenes from television and film.  Taught by Rebecca Lines and guest directors who are brought in every month to work with the students.

Intermediate classes

Our Tuesday night class continues student’s work with script analysis and on camera work. This class also has an audition workshop one class a month.  Taught by Rebecca Lines and guest directors.

Advanced classes

These three classes are advanced and are taught by Caroline and guest directos. Students are working on advanced principles of emotional life and beyond, all while working on camera in an otherwise traditional scene study. All the work is coached from the monitors, as you would find on set.

Young Actors classes

We offer classes for Kids (ages 7 - 11 ) and Teens (ages 12-18). These classes are fun and intense. We use our NAS method and adapt it so that it is age appropriate. We also offer a unique space in these classes, letting the parents come in for a Q and A once a month. This business can be confusing and difficult to navigate – we try to help parents with that so they can make the best decisions for their kids.

Non Performing Members

After auditing, you can sign up for Non Performing Memberships. For $100/month you may attend all adult classes that NAS offers (that's 6 classes to attend every week). The membership also places you at the top of the wait list for a spot in class. Memberships are limited. To begin, contact NAS.
