We are proud of all of our alumni, simply because the range of their work and their imaginative powers often astonish even us. Some, like Marcia Gay Harden, have gone on to major film and stage careers. Some, like Camryn Manheim, have achieved fame and broken the rules on television.
Some, like Frank Wood, after 12 years working in small theatres all over Manhattan, go on to win the Tony Award on Broadway. Some, like Saul Williams, have made their own careers, becoming a major slam poetry writer and performer. Many of our students will simply keep working from project to project - in theatre, film, and television - making a living and making a life in the world of theatre. We have seen that the program creates the kind of actor who will be centered enough to adapt him - or herself to whatever life brings that is creative and interesting and, consequently, will have a long and varied career. Some graduates go into adjacent arts - writing, directing, teaching, raising children, or a combination of these - and all that is consistent with the program. Art brings life to life in many different ways.
