Playhouse West is a training ground for actors, writers and directors founded by Robert Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum in 1981. For 35 years we have been highly regarded and recommended by industry professionals as one of the premiere acting schools in the country. Many of our members work at highest level within the entertainment business, including James Franco, Ashley Judd, Scott Caan, Sean Astin, Mark Pellegrino, Scott Wolf, Jim Parrack, Tessa Thompson, Heather Morris, Reed Diamond, Michael Trevino, Chace Crawford, Heather Graham, Nia Peeples, Kathryn Morris, Shawnee Smith. We are very proud of the fact that Playhouse West is always among the top programs in having the highest rate of working actors in film and television today.
Playhouse West’s unique process has been brought to Philadelphia by long-tenured senior instructor and Artistic Director Tony Savant. Savant is one of the foremost respected acting teachers in the country – who has trained hundreds of working actors, and many of the top actors in film and television over the past twenty-six years. He established the Playhouse West Philadelphia in 2012.
As a part of Playhouse West, staff and students are entitled to all services and privileges in Los Angeles or Philly. Students may transfer to either branch and pick up their studies at the same level where they left off.
Playhouse West is where legendary acting teacher Sanford Meisner chose to teach his private classes at after moving to Los Angeles in 1987. There are only a handful of people personally trained by Sanford Meisner to teach his technique. Robert Carnegie is part of this very select group. All of the teachers at Playhouse West have learned his approach and have been specifically trained to teach it. The training at Playhouse West is fully endorsed by Mr. Meisner.
