Dedicated to training actors in Tampa Bay since 1992, Venue Theatre Collective, Inc., aka Venue Actors Studio, is a not for profit corporation solely supported by the fees paid by members. Still the most cost effective training available, our success is unparalleled by any other training program in the area. Our goal is the success of our members, no matter if their aspirations are toward professional or amateur work, personal growth, or having fun with performing arts.

   Our year round programs for young people and adults provide the members of our community an opportunity to explore the wonderful world of performing arts. Our Directors and Acting Coaches are all professional actors. We strive to serve our members and offer the best training and advise available.

:: The Studio ::

Venue Actors Studio is set up as a safe place for actors to learn, experiment, and grow in their craft. Based on the work of Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio, our members are encouraged to work on their craft on a daily basis, and to audition regularly for local and statewide acting opportunities. Even after leaving our Studios, actors return for advise and coaching as professionals.
