Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University

We had the privilege of hosting a special event featuring Andreas Manolikakis's new book, METHOD ACTING: Myths and Realities, A Personal View.

Andreas Manolikakis, Director of MFA Directing Program and former Chair of The Actors Studio Drama School, alongside the book's editor and former ASDS professor, Dr. Brian Rhinehart shared the fascinating story of how the book came to be and led an insightful discussion. It was wonderful to hear them unpack the Stanislavski System and the Method, and dispel common misconceptions about the craft.

We are excited to host Andreas Manolikakis, Director of the MFA Directing Program and former Chair of The Actors Studio Drama School, for an insightful discussion and signing of his new book:

METHOD ACTING: Myths and Realities, A Personal View

We are also pleased to announce that the book's editor and former faculty member, Dr. Brian Rhinehart, will be in attendance for the discussion
