Since 1985, Portland Actors Conservatory has provided comprehensive actor training taught by professional theatre practitioners in a creative and supportive environment. Our home is one of the most liveable cities in the United States, with a thriving and nurturing arts scene. We offer a variety of programs and classes for adults and children:

As one of the best acting schools in Los Angeles for kids/teens/young adults, we have been committed to developing the young actor's craft for over two decades. Our founder/current artistic director, Jeff Alan-Lee, has taught many of the top young actors including Scarlett Johansson and Shia LaBeouf. Founded in 1996, we are committed to providing our acting students with the opportunity and tools to discover, nurture, and explore their own uniqueness and merge that into their work. Our acting classes for kids, teens, and young adults are centered around encouraging/praising each for who they are and thus developing their confidence in acting and life. Frequent collaborations with professional artists (writers, directors, actors) has led to our work being published, Three New Plays for Young Actors from The Young Actor's Studio, and to a growing list of successful alumni in theater, film, television, and all other walks of life.
