"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!"
