We’re Moving!

As of March 31, 2023 The Actors Studio will be moving to a new location. During the search for a new stage, we will continue to present exciting programs and shows at various locations in the surrounding towns.

We will keep you abreast of our progress and we will celebrate together when we find our permanent home. Keep your eyes open for upcoming news and “pop up” appearances. Our admin office remains open at the Tannery in Newburyport. Thirty two years of working with the community!

BONS Award 2021

I am so pleased to announce that The Studio has been awarded North of Boston Magazine’s BONS Award for 2021. We won both the Readers’ Choice and Editors’ Choice for Best small live/virtual venue for the whole North Shore. I congratulate all of our teachers, directors, writers, actors, and project producers. You all adapted brilliantly to the circumstances and challenges of the past 18 months, bringing a continuous flow of great material to our audiences.  This honor is yours!
