Productions
Students usually do not audition for directors. There is a committee composed of the Artistic Director, the Head of the Acting Department and various other faculty members who have taught these particular students.
All production work is part of the curriculum at the Stella Adler Conservatory. There is a sequence of production/performance requirements, which grows in intensity from the first year to the fourth.
