Lecture Series

The Harold Clurman Lecture Series, formed in 1993 in an effort to keep students in touch with larger theatrical traditions, brings professional writers, directors, musicians, dancers and actors to the Stella Adler Studio. After speaking, guest artists engage in a talkback with students, creating an open forum about what it means to be an artist today. The Lecture Series is one of many programs named to honor the spirit of Harold Clurman.
