John DeSotelle Studio is a professional Acting Studio located in an historic building among a smorgasbord of eateries and boutique shops in legendary Hell’s Kitchen.
The Studio was first imagined and expressly designed for the intimate training of the Sanford Meisner technique; it was also created to reach beyond the actors training experience, to not only provide a variety of instructional opportunities and practical experience, but to ultimately foster a community of artists and professionals – a “home” for actors, writers, directors, etc. to further build and support the performing arts for its members, this Studio and beyond.
The Studio encompasses two floors housing two furnished classrooms, a movement space and on-camera studio, a 40 seat black box intimate performance venue with professional lighting and sound systems, as well as a community kitchen area and a quaint lobby boasting the comforts and distinctive style of old parlor and book store.
(Please note: Our building has no elevators but everyone says we are well-worth a few stairs!)
