Our Summer Conservatory is a rigorous curriculum for the serious actor.  What has become one of the most successful summer programs in the country is geared towards university students and professionals looking for an opportunity to work on their craft full-time.  Actors find the intensive immersion of the Summer Conservatory to be an exciting, life-changing experience.

With an emphasis on classes that develop the actor’s instrument, our program leads actors towards a deeper understanding, not only of their craft, but of themselves.  Our summer intensives include scene study, movement, voice, camera, Shakespeare, acting techniques, clown, improvisation, and the business of acting-all taught by the Michael Howard Studios’ preeminent faculty.
