John Ruskin is honored to be one of the few teachers authorized by Sanford Meisner to teach his technique. He has dedicated his life to teaching this technique because he believes it is not only the key to breathtakingly authentic acting, but it also has the power to transform lives.

For the last 30 years, John and his teachers have been guiding students towards creating and maintaining an acting career, as well as connecting them with the deepest parts of themselves through the Meisner Technique Program. The program’s power has created a strong artistic community that usually continues to work together after graduating from the two year program in either the Graduate Class or in shows at the Ruskin Group Theatre, when not working in film and television.

Our acting school also offers a Scene Study with Master Teachers Class, which gives our actors the opportunity to to work with industry professionals. In our Young Actors Classes, we provide acting classes for children and teens in the Meisner Technique to support them as they start their careers and develop deeper confidence in themselves.
