TESTIMONIALS

“My time at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute has been a transformative chapter in my artistic journey. The training not only deepened my understanding of The Method, but also gave me the tools and discipline to bring truth, vulnerability, and authenticity to every role I approach. The faculty’s dedication and generosity created an environment where I felt both challenged and supported. Each instructor brought a unique perspective, and together they encouraged me to explore and expand beyond my comfort zone. I leave with a stronger sense of craft, a deeper connection to my creative instincts, and a renewed confidence in my voice as an actor.”

“The training I received from my AOS degree program at Strasberg has been beyond invaluable. On top of training you to be the most truthful, confident and reliable actor possible, arming you with all the tools to keep growing and sharpening your craft, it prepares you as a person going into the industry, and makes you reflect on the person you are, and who you want to be. I couldn’t be more grateful for these 2 incredibly formative years.

Giulia Abbondanza, AOS Degree Student Class of ’26

“I started doing my research to discover the best schools in acting and then Lee Strasberg popped up. I think what drew me to [The Institute] was what it’s all about…using your own personal experiences to bring life to a character. [Also,] when I saw that this AOS Program has courses like Business of Acting I thought this is something I needed to do…it’s one thing to learn something and it’s another thing to actually apply it. So when I came I was like, oh okay, this is the real thing.”

Thato Mononyane, AOS Degree Graduate ’24

“The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute Associate Degree Program gave me something every actor spends years searching for — a process I could rely on professionally. The Method taught me how to approach the work with honesty, discipline, and emotional precision, regardless of the scale of the production or the demands of the role. Studying under David Lee Strasberg and Dr. Michael Yurchak reinforced the importance of truth, preparation, and restraint. The training gave me a deeper understanding of how to carry a character over long periods of work while staying emotionally present and technically grounded. It’s a foundation I continue to rely on in every project I take on today.”
