Where Actors & Directors TRAIN for
the Screen in the 21st Century*

Stonestreet Studios is a film & screen acting school as well as a producing organization located in the Flatiron District of midtown Manhattan in New York City. The Stonestreet Screen Acting Workshop ("SSAW"), an integral part of our organization, is an advanced drama conservatory of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Drama Department. Our mission is to TRAIN actors in the art of screen and film acting - something markedly different than stage acting - by transcending previously learned techniques within an environment of a working production company that draws on the SSAW student body and the professional community to create filmed entertainment in all it's genres
