The Stella Adler Center for the Arts is a public arts center with an actor-training conservatory at its core. Public programs invite audience members to join us in our quest to understand the human experience through art, to ask what it means to be a theater with a higher purpose and to explore what artists might do in the face of atrocity and injustice.
We hope that through these programs you experience a provocation to be an engaged and ever-evolving human being, to fall in love with a theater in dialogue with ideas and to join us in a laboratory of the arts.
The Center is a place that brings great art to everyone and offers it indiscriminately, that is to say affordably, to the world. The center is motivated by a passion to democratize the arts, serve everyone in our society and acknowledge every aspect of the human experience.
“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 Stella Adler Studio of Acting student
“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 Stella Adler Studio of Acting student
