Blanche In The Asylum/The Straight Bozo

Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre is a world renowned acting school located in the heart of Hollywood, California. We offer extensive training for the serious actor in theatre, film, and television (on camera). The Stella Adler Technique grew out of Miss Adler’s personal work with Konstantin Stanislavski, the father of modern acting. After a long and successful career in films and on Broadway, including ten years with the famous “Group Theatre,” Adler opened her New York school in 1949. She taught acting technique based on her personal work with Konstantine Stanislavski a technique that nurtures the imagination of the actor. After teaching for many years in Los Angeles at various venues, Stella Adler, along with Joanne Linville and Irene Gilbert, founded Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre – Los Angeles in 1985.Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre – Los Angeles is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to uplifting and enriching our collective humanity through the dramatic arts. Driven by the belief that growth as an actor and growth as a person are the same, our Academy & Theatre provides the tools, training, and discipline to nurture and support actors who are committed not only to the art form, but to a life of social engagement. In addition to our teaching center, we offer public programming and extensive community outreach, including free and low-cost performances for thousands of patrons as well as some of the city’s most under-served children, families and senior citizens.

About Blanche in the AsylumTim McNeil's acclaimed play, "Blanche in the Asylum," is making its return to Los Angeles. Audiences will revisit Blanche DuBois, 35 years after the events of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire," as she navigates the complexities of memory and identity within the confines of an asylum. This poignant and darkly comedic play delves into Blanche's struggle for clarity and understanding of her past and present, offering a unique perspective on this iconic character. Written and starring Tim McNeil (Forrest Gump, Contact, Seinfeld) alongside Kelly O'Malley (Valentine’s Day, A Light in Dark Places), and directed by Meghan Leone Cox (Trapped, Strangers) "Blanche in the Asylum" promises a powerful and unforgettable theatrical experience.

What Are People Saying?"Check out Tim McNeil's Blance in the Asylym." It's funny, touching, and well... Bonkers!" - Mark Ruffalo"It's such a joy to see Tim McNeil as Blanche DuBouis. Blance in the Asylum is a perfect blend of southern gothic and lunacy. A true testament to the performer/writer's love of all things Tennesse Williams." - John Carroll Lynch

About The Straight BozoThree workers, in very different circumstances, are traveling into Manhattan on the Long Island Railroad in Tim McNeil’s scintillating play The Straight Bozo, directed by Bonnie McNeil. A typical morning but not. Terry (Abby Corrigan) and Bob (George Ferrier) do not realize that they are traveling with Evan Dougherty (Carlo Figlio), a mythical Wall Street figure who walked away from a lucrative job. Evan challenges them to open their eyes and see the world in a different way leading to conflict in this serio-comic gem of a play!
