The Eugene O'Neill National Theater Institute (NTI)
The Eugene O'Neill National Theater Institute (NTI) in Waterford Connecticut is geared toward undergraduate theater students who desire to be in a fast-paced, conservatory-level theatre program and to work as part of an ensemble. This program is suitable for students wishing to hone acting skills and those interested in other aspects of theater. The program includes either two-weeks of theater studies in London (fall semester) or two-weeks in Moscow, Russia (spring semester). Classes are held seven days a week from 9am to 10pm with a 7:30 am warm-up five days a week.
“I learned a lot from the constant work and the level of skill and professionalism of the teachers. They aren't afraid to give out hard notes or speak candidly about criticism. I would highly recommend this to any student who is seriously studying theater and plans to pursue a career in the theater world.” - Noah Y. ‘18
