General Info

By offering a multi-level class structure, the New Jersey School of Dramatic Arts makes sure students are taking classes matched to their experience or current ability. We offer Adults seven levels of Acting, three levels of Film & TV Acting and three levels of Improvisation! For Teens and Tweens, there are three levels of acting and musical theater classes. Other schools have teachers who have never worked professionally in the subject they are teaching.A school is only as good as its teachers. All of the New Jersey School of Dramatic Art's teachers are professionals who have worked and taught extensively in their field. We are just as passionate about teaching as we are about acting! Other schools ( especially in New York City ) have classes that are so large, the students do not always get a chance to participate in class.The New Jersey School of Dramatic Arts believes that every student who is ready to work should have that opportunity in every class. Instructors give students generous one on one attention. There is a maximum of 12-16 students in a class ( based on the course ).NJSDA gives its students a head start on their professional careers because of our affiliations with outstanding professional organizations. The NJ Theatre Alliance has given our students exclusive audition slots for their Equity combined theatre auditions. We also partner with the highly acclaimed 4th Wall Theatre which has cast our students for their productions. Montclair State University's film department partners with NJSDA and frequently uses our actors for their student films. Comcast Spotlight, Comcast cable's local commercial division, "turns to our students first."
