IN-PERSON CLASSES
After more than a year we are back! Our in person classes meet in one of our two North Hollywood Theaters. We do require proof of vaccination in order to attend in person classes. In accordance with LA county mandates all studio members will be masked while indoors, except while on stage. Click here to find out more.
The Professional's Scene Study Classes
This is not a class for actors who are making up their minds as to whether or not they really want to be an actor.
We hold our actors to the highest standards, which is why our percentage of working actors is among the highest of any acting studio in Los Angeles or New York.
The Monday Scene Study Class
The Monday Class is a difficult class to get into. It is reserved for the working actor. In other words, to be admitted into this class the prospective student must have an extensive professional résumé.
If what you are looking for is a nonchalant approach to acting class where you learn your lines and throw it up for the class, The Monday Class is not the class for you.
In addition to deepening the actors work in whatever way necessary, we deal with the specific problems that arise from time working on the set. Many acting studios in Los Angeles claim to have a "master class" and while I am not partial to the term that is exactly what the Monday Class is. Some of the finest actors you will see anywhere attend this class.
People are generally accepted into this class through referral and an interview with Stuart Rogers.
Foundations Scene Study Class
The Acting Class Focused on Critical Fundamentals
Foundations Class's goal is to get you out of the class and into the working world as fast as possible. We quickly and effectively prepare our actors for the challenges that they will face on the set, in the casting office, or rehearsal hall. We hold our actors to the highest standards, which is why our percentage of working actors is among the highest of any acting studio in Los Angeles or New York. (this is an ongoing class)
Director Class
Director Classes from Beginner to Advanced Levels.
The directing classes at Stuart Rogers Studios are all taught by award winning directors. Like our acting classes our directing classes are tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each director.
The Audition Class
If your work does not consistently flat-out rock when you're auditioning, you have no one to blame for being unemployed but yourself.
The audition class is an in-depth acting class focused on auditioning. We target the kind of auditions you are going out for (or should be going out for) be it co-star, guest star, series regulars or leads in films, and the instructor ensures that you find a confident approach that will lead you to story accurate, in-depth, fully committed auditions.
TEACHER TRAINING AT STUART ROGERS’ STUDIOS
This 8-week workshop offers a unique experience for working acting teachers, and those interested in teaching acting. In this workshop we tear up every accepted acting convention and explore together the most effective ways we can to help actors. It doesn't matter if you are teaching Method, Chekhov, Meyerhold, Adler, or Meisner; our inclusive workshop seeks the binding truths under the particular acting philosophy. This is a room dedicated to introspection, and expression, communication, and deliberation all centered in the profoundly unique experience of teaching acting.

ZOOM CLASSES
No matter where you are in the world you can now study at Stuart Rogers Studios. One of the few good things that came with COVID-19 is that we have developed a meaningful way to study acting on-line.

SCENE STUDY
Our online scene study classes meet once a week. Although still based on our well-known scene study format, the classes have now been completely reimagined to work in Zoom. We have found that there are even insights that we can make in this unique setting that would be impossible to discover anywhere else. We continue to ignite (or reignite) the actor’s passion to their art, in a very real world, grounded approach to acting and directing. Our on-line students study with us from New York, Atlanta, Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles and beyond!
PARADIGMS
This is what we call the acting process that we have developed over the past 25 years. We teach a fluid process of acting that is intuitive and unique. We ask that actors new to the studio make sure the Paradigms workshop is one of the classes they take. This class is a deep dive into acting theory, enjoyed both by veteran actors and artists starting out as well. The Paradigms class puts every acting theory on the chopping block to weigh how effective it is. We are open to everything, but only interested in what is optimal for the individual actor. This class is taught by Stuart Rogers.
SELF-TAPE LABORATORY
(This is a 6 week class): Love them or hate them, self-taped auditions are here to stay. In this fully comprehensive class, we deal with everything from the technical challenges, such as lighting, sound, etc. to the unique challenges that get in the way of our artistic process like no time to prepare, sides with little information, unclear breakdowns that do more harm than good, unhelpful readers etc. Whatever is in the way, blocking an authentic expressive audition, must be dealt with! We create self-tapes that are art. NEXT CLASS TBA
