The Actors Studio Drama School at PACE University Celebrates 13th Repertory Season
This year's 27 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidates of the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University includes:
*Young Simba from Broadway's The Lion King and the originator of the role of Jack Scott in Disney's stage version of High School Musical
*Reigning Miss Black USA (2010)
*Loud Nanny in The Nanny Diaries (The Weinstein Company)
*Musician featured on the double platinum album The Light & The Shadow, which launched hip hop into Israel's mainstream
*Grammy award winner, recognized for her outstanding choral and drama programs in a South Carolina high school
*Fulbright Scholar
*Lauded playwright - For the Winter (finalist, 35th Annual Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Contest), and Four Sons (winner, Under 20's Playwriting Contest, Tarragon Theatre).
*Director of Martha and Me: A Musical, which enjoyed a sell-out run at the New York International Fringe Festival
*Winner of the State of Ohio Solo Musical Theatre Thespian Competition at age 16
*Tri-linguist in English, French and Spanish
*Fortune 500 banker turned actor
All are accomplished and have multiple credits on the big screen, small screen, on stage and in the wings. They have founded their own theater companies as well as performed, written and directed for others. But they have collaborated together these last three years in New York City, united as they pursue their dream and refine their craft as actors, director or playwrights in the only Masters' theater program endorsed by the renowned Actors Studio … two express subway stops from Broadway.
These 27 "rising stars" will make their professional debuts in a five-week repertory season that is open to the public beginning Wednesday, April 13, but are not total unknowns. Since the fall of 2009, they've been watched by viewers in 89 million homes and 125 countries around the globe as a result of the telecast of their master craft seminar, "Inside the Actors Studio," hosted on Bravo TV by the school's Dean Emeritus James Lipton.
This bird's-eye view of industry greats also comes with red carpet/Schimmel Theater stage interview privileges, allowing the students to pose questions "one-on-one" to Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy award winners they someday hope to emulate.
One of the most frequent questions James Lipton himself has been asked these past 13 years by interviewers is "Who is the guest you want the most?"
Lipton's answer is invariable: "Since I'm the founding dean of the Actors Studio Drama School, of which Inside the Actors Studio is a class, the night that one of our graduates has achieved so much that he or she walks out and sits down in that chair facing me will mean more to me than any moment since this journey began."
Lipton got his wish during this past academic year, when Bradley Cooper, a graduate of the Actors Studio Drama School, Class of 2000, walked across the Schimmel Theater stage and sat in the chair opposite him and his blue cards in an episode which aired Monday, March 14, 2011.
During his graduate school years, Lipton was Cooper's dean; Elizabeth Kemp and Andreas Manolikakis were his teachers. Lipton, Kemp and Manolikakis are still very much part of the Actors Studio Drama School program today. Along with Bradley's star, theirs has risen as well with Manolikakis now Chair of the Actors Studio Drama School MFA Program and Kemp currently Director of Acting Department.
Having Cooper return was not only an exciting experience for current MFA students, but also a powerful testament as to their future capabilities, truly taking "the world is your oyster" to heart.
In addition to Cooper, the MFA candidates have received words of wisdom from Lipton Inside the Actors Studio guests such as: Judd Apatow, Jason Bateman, Halle Berry, Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan, James Cameron, James Carrey, Sean Combs, Danny DeVito, The Family Guy Cast, Colin Firth, James Franco, Ricky Gervais, Kate Hudson, Denis Leary, Laura Linney, Conan O'Brien, Amy Poehler, Daniel Radcliffe, Diana Ross, Mickey Rourke, Richie Sambora, Charlie Sheen, Brooke Shields, Christian Slater, Hilary Swank and Tico Torres.
The 2011 Actors Studio Drama School Repertory Season performances will take place at the theater at Dance New Amsterdam, 53 Chambers St., just north of City Hall, Wednesdays through Fridays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m. from April 13 through May 14.

During the 2011 rep season, the following one-acts by Baker's students will be making their world premiere during Week Three:

"Real" Rep Season: Off-Broadway, Practical Level Experience
"The season is produced, managed, and designed by union member industry professionals, creating an actual Off-Broadway experience that prepares our graduates with practical experience as working professionals before graduation," said Manolikakis, a Lifetime Member and a member of the Board of Directors of the Actors Studio.
Among the industry professionals who will be supporting the Actors Studio Drama School 2011 MFA candidates during repertory season:
*Peter Dean (Production Manager) Off-Broadway credits include The American Dream and The Sandbox directed by Edward Albee (Cherry Lane) and Women Beware Women, (Red Bull Theater).

"The Actors Studio Drama School Repertory Season is real repertory where our students work as a repertory company – acting, directing and writing the material – creating collaborations that can last a lifetime," underscored Manolikakis. "Unlike other MFA programs' productions, we provide each and every student actor with the opportunity to be the ‘lead' in a production. In many other programs, a few students carry those roles while the rest ‘carry spears."
The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University is the only MFA theater program officially sanctioned by The Actors Studio. The entire faculty is chosen and approved – and the curriculum is designed and supervised – by the leadership of The Actors Studio through its Curriculum Advisory Committee, including the Presidents of The Actors Studio, Ellen Burstyn, Harvey Keitel and Al Pacino. All students — actors, directors, playwrights – train side-by-side as actors. All students participate in the Craft Seminars known to the world as the Bravo Network television series, "Inside the Actors Studio," hosted by James Lipton.
