The Teen Actors Gym (TAG) is an on-going weekend actor’s gym held on Saturdays in-person at the studio, and is structured to suit both the emerging and professional young actor seeking to train and stay in shape by working with the studio’s NYU Tisch & Conservatory faculty.

Actors will participate in a variety of classes throughout the day focusing on different areas of the actors craft including Scene Study, Acting Technique, Improvisation, Voice & Speech and Movement Techniques. TAG is designed to be repeated. A place to explore and stay in shape!
As with all of the Studio’s programs, the Teen Actors Gym is informed by the insight that growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous.
