Open Houses & Tours
Open Houses — Join Us
Join us for an upcoming Open House and discover why The Neighborhood Playhouse has been a cornerstone of professional actor training since 1928. More than an introduction, these events offer a rare opportunity to step inside our conservatory tradition and experience the immersive, hands-on approach to actor training that defines our work. Whether you are just beginning your journey or seeking to deepen your craft, Open Houses provide insight into our Two-Year Professional Actor Training Program and the master teachers who bring it to life.
All Open House attendees receive a waiver of the $75 application fee.
