METHOD ACTING ONLINE | GRADES 7-12
April 12 – June 28, 2025
Saturdays | 12:30 – 3:30pm EST
Tuition: $1255
Offered during the traditional school year (Fall, Winter, and Spring), this virtual class meets on Saturdays for a three-hour Method Acting class, designed to train the actor in Lee Strasberg’s world-renowned acting technique.
In Method Acting classes at LSTFI, our experienced faculty work with students on relaxation, sense memory exercises, and scene work. During relaxation, students aim to release both physical and mental tension. Sense memory exercises train the actor to use their imagination and call upon the memories stored in our five senses – sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Finally, students will learn to make creative choices and apply the exercises in their actor toolboxes to characters and scenes from theatre and film. Our faculty will guide classes through acting exercises and scene work that is fun, challenging, and appropriate for the students’ age and experience levels.
Please note that the Online Saturday Program is only open to students in grades 7-12. After-School Classes, Saturday Programs, and Summer Acting Camps for students in grades 2-12 are offered in person at the New York campus.

2-WEEK COLLEGE AUDITION PREP (ONLINE)
August 4 – 15, 2025
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays | 5:00-7:00pm
Tuition: $600
Held entirely on Zoom, this two-week intensive is designed to equip high school students with the tools and confidence needed for successful college auditions. Students will unpack the essential components of the audition process, including headshots, resumes, pre-screens, and school-specific material requirements.
With individualized guidance, each student will select two monologues tailored to their strengths and audition needs — whether they require contrasting comedic and dramatic pieces, contemporary and classical pieces, or other school-specific materials. Students may also bring pre-selected material to workshop and refine their performance.
Through script analysis, acting exercises, and detailed coaching, students will develop polished, dynamic audition pieces. The course culminates in a mock audition, allowing students the opportunity to practice slating and responding to on-the-spot adjustments — preparing them to enter the audition room with confidence.
