how to meet us
The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts is one of the most highly regarded acting schools in the country – and if you’re in or around NYC, you can come visit us in person!
An audition is required for acceptance to The New York Conservatory degree programs, and optional to win scholarships for our summer intensive training programs. Campus visits and tours with or without audition are available throughout the year.
virtual open houses
Virtual Open Houses take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Workshop with our artistic director, meet the staff and students, and tour the school and dorms. Join us for Workshop Wednesday, Audition Thursday, and Express Decision Friday, or just join in the workshop to get to know The New York Conservatory.
