Also, playwrights and theatre artists would be able to record and archive their work, which usually only live in the moment of live theatre. With our studio in Hollywood used more actively to connect playwrights and train young actors with film makers from local film schools - we are able to produce high quality, short pieces independently, while introducing theatre arts to the next generation.
If creators are not capable of being in the studio, they can work and collaborate remotely - in real time. This projects will allow writers, directors and even actors to work remotely.

We would like to encourage people to join in the various acting and creative activities we have developed during the pandemic in order to dispel the habits of anti-social behavior. Antisocial behavior in society has led to negative and violent outbursts. The Pandemic has isolated people and many have become anti-social. What is the problem that you are seeking to address?

This school and organization supports young actors on their journey to being well trained, independent artists.
