November 21, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - The Maggie Flanigan Studio, based in New York, NY, is pleased to announce that they are now taking applications for their upcoming acting program, which starts in January and will have a duration of 18 months. Students will be taught in the Meisner acting technique that has earned the studio their distinguished reputation as one of the best acting programs New York students have at their disposal.

The recently established 18-month acting program covers the same curriculum as its two-year counterpart, though it is compressed to fit into a much shorter and accessible timeframe for students. The only quantifiable difference is the fact that the 18-month program does not have any vacation or holiday breaks as their two-year program does. This compressed schedule is ideal for time-restricted students who cannot commit to the studio's longer program, as well as international students with an M1 Student Visa.
The quality of this program is in line with what is to be expected from one of New York’s best acting schools. The first half of the program is taught by Karen Chamberlain, and the second is taught by Charlie Sandlan (Executive Director and Head of Acting for the studio). This combination of talent, knowledge, and understanding of the field makes the program an extremely appealing option for students. Learn more here: Acting Program New York.
A recent testimonial from Stephen Adly Guirgis, a Pulitzer prize-winning playwright and graduate of the Maggie Flannigan Studio Meisner program, shares a snippet of his experience in the institute. It reads, "Maggie Flanigan has been one of the most important people in my artistic life. I want to work with Maggie trained actors. As an actor myself, she is my first source. I do not say this lightly; if you are serious about acting and willing to work very hard, then go to Maggie."
In particular, Chamberlain's experience and teaching methods have been thoroughly praised by her students, who appreciate her and hold her in the highest regard among the teachers at the Maggie Flanigan Studio. She is the studio's most senior teacher, and one of the most experienced and successful professors in New York. She has stated on multiple occasions that, as a teacher, her purpose and mission is to empower students by awakening their authentic, truthful responses, and helping them uncover what has real meaning for them.
The school has shared another recent student review of Chamberlain and Sandlan. Written by Tayler Hamilton, it says, "Charlie and Karen are absolutely the single number one reason to study at Maggie Flanigan Studio. I truly don't think that there are any other teachers like them. You can figure that out, but they push you to be an actor that's going to win an Academy Award one day."
He continues, "They don't settle for anything less than that. They don't drop their bar below just for someone. It's a really high bar. When I first started the fall intensive, I realized that, and I was like, "I love that," because I want to be at that bar. I believe that Charlie and Karen are helping me get there."
In another student review, Syndney Norman shares, "I have never felt so empowered in my life. These people, like Charlie and Karen, are here to help you but they want to help serious people. They really want to help you fulfill your dreams. You have to be here, and you have to be ready to go all out."
Admission to the studio, for either of the Meisner acting programs offered, is based on an interview with Charlie Sandlan. All applicants must complete an online application providing basic personal information before scheduling their interview.

Thailand’s government said on Thursday it had revoked the citizenship of a prominent head rabbi who was a naturalised Thai, as the country tightens enforcement of its immigration laws. Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor’s Thai citizenship was stripped over his repeated use of his US passport after naturalisation in 2013, according to an interior ministry statement.

Singapore’s decision to send its top diplomat to Indonesia on a surprise visit, following days of terse exchanges over a regional haze, underscores a bid to defuse growing tensions and seek a direct channel to President Prabowo Subianto.

Smoke from this year’s Indonesian forest and peatland fires has inflicted an estimated 8 billion ringgit (US$1.97 billion) in welfare losses on Malaysia, contributing to an estimated 1,700 deaths and severely disrupting manufacturing, according to a report commissioned by the country’s leading industrial group.

A flurry of meat seizures across Thailand and Vietnam has raised fears of animal-borne diseases devastating regional livestock populations and unsafe food ending up on consumers’ plates. Driven by rising energy and logistics costs, unscrupulous suppliers have targeted restaurants and wet markets desperate to protect margins by sourcing cheap, unregulated cuts – even those past their expiry date or tainted with disease. On October 21, police in Vietnam’s southern province of Dong Nai dismantled a...

Indonesia’s communications minister has urged calm after a former Singaporean nominated member of parliament (NMP) suggested the city state could disrupt its neighbour’s internet access, arguing that any outage would cripple connectivity on both sides.
