Acting Studio
"At the Artistic Home you find actors who are deeply connected to the text. They are emotionally free, truthful and fearless." 
Erica Daniels, Steppenwolf Associate Artistic Director & Casting Director

What We Do  
We drive you to the edge of your art, and then beyond. We strip away your layers and reveal the deeper actor. The one who makes organic and imaginative choices that turn dimly lit acting into brilliance. We are the crucible for your artistic transformation.  We do this using the Meisner Technique, which we’ve been teaching since 1998 to some of Chicago’s top actors. Studio Founder, Kathy Scambiatterra, is a direct “descendent” of     the Meisner method and brings a fiery and intuitive craft to an intimate studio of actors. This is the undiluted, real stuff.        
                                                                       Check out the class list here.
