This past weekend, The Acting Center and staff were delighted to have a booth at our first Showbiz Expo. We met a lot of great actors and creative people of all kinds—writers, casting agents, directors, producers and more. It was a fun experience made even more entertaining by an impromptu performance by our own Jim Meskimen & Tait Ruppert, who improvised some songs at our booth. Check out their funny video and we will see you at ActorFest in the fall.

The Acting Center’s Cupid’s Night Out was performed to a once again standing room only crowd! The packed crowd at The Acting Center Theater enjoyed an evening of scenes, monologues and poetry in celebration of St. Valentine’s day. Acting Center scene study and improv students and teachers regularly perform for the public. Keep watching for our next performance!
The Acting Center is proud to be included in the new iPhone app—Actor Genie. This clever application has a host of vital information for actors all for less than the cost of a movie ticket. You can see what projects are being cast and what casting directors are doing the casting! There is insider advice from industry leaders—actors, directors, producers and more. But what we are most excited about is they have a list of Top 10 Picks. In this section, they have the top ten acting schools in Los Angeles and guess who is at the top of the list? Did you guess yet? The Acting Center, that’s who! Now you have to check us out! Our next Orientation Lecture is on Feb 15th at 7pm. Hope to see you there.
