We are a charitable 501(c)(3) organization based in Taos County, New Mexico.

Formed in 2003, we operate a small black box theatre where we offer free training in acting and playwriting, alongside producing plays.

We’ve conducted regular classes in most of the local middle and high schools, and also in juvenile detention centers.

We share methods from our own years of training in New York and Los Angeles, at The Neighborhood Playhouse, the Lee Strasberg Playwrights Group, the Met Theater, and with William Alderson, Ron Burrus and Charles Conrad, among others.

We coach actors on their auditions for television and film work. We help students who want to pursue acting with their admission to college theater programs.
