Southeast Actors Academy

07/06/2022

Southeast Actors Academy will officially close to in-person classes. From today forward, Online Actors Academy is where classes will be offered.

It has been a wonderful place to build actors working in film and TV in the southeast. Our chief instructor Jim Dougherty is relocating and returning to the Chicago market and will continue to serve southeast actors through the Online Actors Academy, and he will periodically offer in person workshops in the southeast in the future.
Wishing Jim the best as he continues to work and teach online and in his new market!
