With Spring Term beginning on March 24, you have one more week to register! Some classes – like Francesca Ferrara’s Acting 2, Jessica Hecht’s Scene Study (Studio Practice), and Lorraine Serabian’s Acting the Song – are full, but students can still join the waitlist. Other classes – like Michelle Uranowitz’s Movement for Actors (Advanced), John Bowen’s Singing Voice 1, and Fran Kirmser’s Self-Producing for Artists – still have a few spots open, so grab them while you still can!

If you are a beginning student at HB, there are still some fantastic options for fundamental study led by our world-class instructors still available, including:

Uta Hagen’s Acting Exercises with Julissa Roman
“My expectation for the class was to deepen my understanding of Uta Hagen’s techniques and consistently apply them through new exercises each week, whether in character work or during scenes. By the end of the term, my expectations were exceeded!” – Acting on Camera 1 Student

Acting I with Magaly Colimon
“Magaly was wonderful in breaking down the steps and allowing me to experience the different aspects of character development, including ingraining my own life and making choices. She was also encouraging and challenging” – Acting 1 Student

First Steps: Beginning Your Journey as an Actor with Richard Hoehler
“Exactly what I was looking for in a class for 1st timers!” – Daniel

Scene Study with Austin Pendleton
“Everything worked. I am beyond inspired. A better actor.” – Xavier

On the fence about a particular class and want to test things out? Don’t forget – HB allows students to audit a single class for a nominal fee. HB’s course catalog offers both typical core training coursework as well as unique and surprising options to choose from before the March 24 deadline.
