Program Description Hartt's Actor Training program is dedicated to a comprehensive and rigorous style of training that creates artists who are physically, intellectually and emotionally prepared for the extraordinary demands of the acting profession. In a carefully planned progression of acting, voice, movement and text analysis classes, students expand both their craft and their creative imagination so that they can be successful in a wide range of theatrical styles from the contemporary to the classical. UHart's unique Partnership-In-Training with the Tony Award-winning Hartford Stage Company is part of our thorough career preparation curriculum that readies our students to seek work as professional actors. Performance opportunities at Hartt are extensive and designed to expose students to plays from across the theatrical repertoire. Starting with second year projects and culminating with full-scale, professionally designed productions, the plays are chosen to provide each class with challenging onstage experiences. In the spring semester of the third year, Actor Training students receive approximately ten weeks of intensive Shakespeare training in England with faculty from the professional British theatre. Attendance at several productions in London and Stratford enhance this unique educational opportunity. Students should be advised that this is the Direct Admission option for this program and as such does not offer conditional admission.
