THE MASTER OF FINE ARTS PROGRAM
SHOWCASECLASS OF 2015
Carey Perloff, Artistic Director
Melissa Smith, Conservatory Director
On behalf of American Conservatory Theater’s
administration, faculty, and staff, I proudly present to you
the 2015 graduating class of the A.C.T. Master of Fine Arts
Program. Our young artists are completing three years of
intensive study with us, including more than a dozen student
productions, as well as performances at The Geary Theater,
A.C.T.’s 1,000-seat theater, and The Strand Theater, A.C.T.’s
new 283-seat theater. Their production experience runs the
gamut—including classical literature, new plays, cabaret
revues, and physical theater. They are now prepared to meet
the challenges of the world of professional performance.
They carry with them the conviction that dynamic acting is
born not of happenstance, but of deep exploration, sustained
passion, unflagging discipline, and a love of play. We thank
you for including us in your schedule, and we appreciate the
consideration you have accorded our actors over the years.
