Professional Development Programs

The New York Conservatory Professional Development Programs are an opportunity to spend one or two weeks in NYC working on your craft, meeting fellow actors, making important connections, and adding an off-Broadway credit to your resume or a professional clip to your reel!

In our Professional Development Programs, you’ll focus on:

→ Honing your audition skills with a New York City professional actor and have the opportunity to audition for a NYC casting director.
→ Rehearsing and filming a performance project geared towards the discipline of choice

And, you’ll leave with:

→ Valuable audition feedback from a NYC Casting Director (Musical Theatre and Theatre Performance)
→ A NYC credit for your resume at an off-Broadway theatre (Musical Theatre and Theatre Performance)
→ A professionally produced short scene for your reel (Film & Television)
→ A professionally filmed dance choreography performance for your reel (Dance)

Note: For the Professional Development Programs, International participants may enter the U.S. on either the B1/B2 visa or ESTA as this would be considered recreational study not for credit or certification by USCIS.

Professional Development Programs are open to those 18 and older with performance experience.
