"The Company Acting Studio is the place to go for career actors looking not only to sharpen their technique, but to refine and strengthen the entire process by which they approach their work. CAS has an incredible staff who knows the business inside out and care deeply about the personal learning experience of each of their students. I’ve been taking classes here for several years from Lisina Stoneburner and can honestly say I’ve never found a better, more effective coach. The rates are affordable, the opportunities diverse and catered to their students’ needs, and the team here is genuinely committed to cultivating conscientious actors who never stop expanding their work. Love this place!"
~ Rachel Frawley - Actor

“What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is the ability to mourn people we have never met.” ~ David Levithan
“During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.” ~ Maya Angelou
“To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem and to express it is his dedication.” ~ Marlon Brando
