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.
Conservatory Fridays
We open our campus every Friday at 12pm for tours, meetings with students, faculty and admissions, and (optional) auditions. We cap attendance at 10 participants, so this is not a cattle call, it’s a chance for serious one-on-one time with The New York Conservatory.
