Former TBG student Lola Kirke in Mozart in the Jungle show

“Prior to my experience at The Barrow Group, I spent years forcing tears, laughs, and understanding. After attending The Barrow Group, my experience changed drastically. I attribute my entire career to what I learned there, which is essentially: how to be more myself.”
Lola Kirke, "Mozart in the Jungle", 6-week program graduate

Our 6-Week Summer Professional Acting Program is an excellent, affordable way for those interested in pursuing a career in acting in New York City to be a part of a vibrant Off-Broadway theatre company and community.

The program begins with an introduction to The Barrow Group approach and script analysis, and progresses to scene study, monologues, and on-camera acting technique as Barrow Group acting tools are introduced. These tools, found in An Actor’s Companion by Seth Barrish, encourage spontaneity, clarity, and freedom in the actor’s work.

Selected specialty classes such as voice for the actor, theatrical clown, improvisation, stage combat, and Alexander Technique are included. The program culminates in an industry session with an NYC Industry Professional (agent, manager, or casting director) and a panel discussion with TBG alumni and other industry professionals.

Areas of study include:
 – script analysis
 – scene study
 – monologues
 – on-camera – scenes, monologues, audition technique
 – specialty classes such as voice for the actor, theatrical clown, improvisation, stage combat, Alexander Technique, etc
 – industry session
 – business of acting
 – industry panel
