World Class Training, the way Sandy taught it.
The Meisner Technique is all about truth, freedom, and authenticity. At the base of the technique is Sanford Meisner’s core belief: acting is the ability to behave truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
At The Meisner Technique Studio, we strive to uphold the same standard for the craft of acting that Sanford Meisner instilled in each of his students. We expect the highest level of commitment from our students and vow to respect their time and efforts with world-class training.

Formal Training
The Meisner Technique – Formal Training
The work doesn’t just teach you technique. It changes your relationship to yourself, your craft, and what you’re capable of.
Jim’s inspiration and creativity are endless. His passion for teaching is unmatched. He is sensitive and understanding of the fact that each student learns differently. As Sanford Meisner would say, each actor has their own unique “instrument.” And Jim would be able to cater his teachings uniquely to each student’s needs.Kathryn Acker
Intro
Introduction to the Meisner Technique
Twelve weeks. One night a week. Real Meisner work – with the same standard as the Formal Training, paced so a working life can hold it.
By week two you’ll catch yourself reacting instead of acting – and you’ll feel the difference everywhere, on set or off.
If you're looking to instill true craft in yourself, and willing to work harder than you ever have before while putting your ego aside in order to fully obtain the teachings; then this is the school for you.Tyler Jones · Actor

Taught by Jim Jarrett.

Screenwriting
This class is your starting point for turning ideas into scripts, where you’ll learn the fundamentals of cinematic storytelling from page one.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a polished script excerpt and a clear understanding of how to structure, write, and revise your own screenplay.
Each session I think 'It can't possibly get better than this' and then the next session comes. I've grown more as a person in the last year with Jim and my classmates than I ever haveSvetlana Uscocovic · Actor and Model
