Thank you for a great season! Information about next season will be emailed to New York Local Members when it becomes available.
Information about upcoming classes and workshops will be posted below and sent to NY Conservatory members via email. We are not currently taking new registrations. Registration will be available upon the start of a new season. Any questions can be emailed to ny.conservatory@sagaftra.org.
We’d like to take a moment to remember those SAG-AFTRA NY Conservatory Teachers we lost since we were last together.

How to Join
Please note, NY Conservatory registration is temporarily suspended
Cost: Only $35 for the season. You must be a paid-up member of SAG-AFTRA.
Although run under the auspices of SAG-AFTRA, membership dues are not used to pay for NY Conservatory activity. Your nominal Conservatory registration fee goes to pay for such things as studio equipment and a small travel stipend for the teachers. Additionally, fellow actors just like you volunteer their time to run this fine program.
