The Harold Clurman Arts Serie

"Because it placed me directly in conversation with other artists, every Arts Series event was another opportunity to understand myself as an artist…Coupling the Series with my training, I really understood the importance of my craft to the world and felt genuinely compelled in my acting to, above all else, serve art responsibly and
passionately." - A SAS Student


The Harold Clurman Arts Series is comprised of eight distinct branches. You can read more about each branch by clicking on the links at left. Stella Adler believed that the primary obligation of an artist and craftsperson is to grow. The school, therefore, operates largely on the principle that growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous. The Harold Clurman Art Series grew out of an effort to expand the cultural horizons of students, to encourage them as actors to take their place among the greater family of artists, and to grow, through the arts, as human beings. All Art Series events are free or offer reduced ticket prices and open to the public.

"The series adds texture to our acting training and we experience the brilliance of other forms of art. Witnessing the presence of artistic dedication and success is motivating." - A SAS Student
