Insight Actors Studio ~ Our Philosophy

Mission

Insight is more than a studio; it is a community of actors who desire to bring a culture of excellence and integrity to the field of the arts. IAS offers a place for acting training where aspiring and professional actors can learn, grow, meet new people, have fun, and feel comfortable. We offer a varied curriculum for all levels of interest, with greater emphasis on small group sessions to reach optimal classroom and acting skill objectives. Our instructors are committed to continual professional development in order to provide our students with the best and most current industry standard of training.
