...is named in honor of one of the world's foremost acting teachers.
After a long and successful career in films and on Broadway, including ten years with the famous "Group Theatre," Adler began teaching her acting technique, which is based on her personal work with Konstantin Stanislavski~ a technique that nurtures the imagination of the actor.
Stella's teachings have been embraced by many of the world's most notable actors, writers and directors, including Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Benicio Del Toro, Melanie Griffith, Susan Clark, Harvey Keitel, Richard Dreyfuss, Cybill Shepherd, John Ritter, Peter Bogdanovich, Gary Ross, Mark Ruffalo, Holland Taylor, and Ken Martin, to name only a few.
After Stella taught for many years at various locations in Southern California, the West Coast Theater and School opened in Los Angeles in 1985. In 1993, it moved to its present location at 6773 Hollywood Boulevard, 2nd floor, Hollywood, California 90028.
Stella Adler-Los Angeles is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization involved in many community outreach programs including an on-going student scholarship program, children's theatre program, play reading series, and other community-based events. Stella Adler-Los Angeles teams up with other organizations such as The Young Storytellers Foundation and TransitPeople to further extend its reach into the community.
