The Playhouse West
co-founded by Bob Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum
Playhouse West is the original home of Sanford Mesiner's Los Angeles classes, where he taught from 1987 until the end of his teaching career. During this period Mr. Meisner continued to evolve his technique, adding new exercises and approaches. So, our approach is completely unique in that it incorporates these, as well as being one of the very few teaching institutions that experienced first-hand instruction from Mr Meisner himself.

I'd also like to personally recommed one more teacher in Los Angeles, Anthony Montes. He teaches a "blend of approaches" but at his core, he teaches The Meisner Technique. And he's a very good teacher. Tony can be reached at 818.400.2270 or go to www.theartisttheatregroup.com
