One Year Apprentice Acting Program

The Barrow Group Apprentice Program is a yearlong work-study program, starting in September. The program is geared for actors who are settled in New York and are looking for ongoing acting training and to become part of a group. Study is in all areas: scene study, monologues, film & TV, Shakespeare and script analysis. Classes are taught by Artistic Directors Seth Barrish and Lee Brock as well as other master Barrow Group teachers.

Performance opportunities include a monologue showcase, a self-produced reading series, and an invited industry showcase. In addition to class work, apprentices gain valuable experience in running an award winning off-Broadway theatre company, meet other industry professionals and refine their artistic goals. Apprentices are required to work 8 hours per week at the theatre in exchange for their class time.

Acceptance to the program is by audition/interview. Actors should be settled in New York, as we do not offer any housing. There is no stipend. There is an enrollment fee required upon acceptance. Applications are accepted starting in May of each year. Interviews/auditions are held in July and August. Download the application here: Apprentice Application.
