Notable Summer Alumni Testimonials
“I did Atlantic’s Summer Intensive, which was like a bootcamp. It was beautiful. It was a whole summer of just living and breathing plays and scenes. We learned everything from scene analysis, to movement, to meditative Meisner work. To this day, I still use so much of what I learned from them in what I do.”
– Anna Chlumsky (“Veep”)
“I took acting classes at Atlantic when I was 16 for a Summer Intensive and Anya Saffir really stood out as a terrific teacher. So I pursued training with her and with that I started to build my confidence.”
– Zach Woods (“Silicon Valley”)
“I studied at Atlantic when I was 19, and it’s been a part of my creative life forever.”
– Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids)
