Studio 58 is the professional theatre training program at Langara College, located in Vancouver, British Columbia. We offer nationally-recognized training for both actors and production personnel. Studio 58 offers three-year programs for Acting and Production.

Training At Studio 58

Theatre Arts at Studio 58 offers a three-year acting diploma program and theatre production diploma program designed to prepare students for a professional career in theatre, film, television, and related arts. The programs graduate actors and production personnel who have a professional level of commitment and aptitude and who have acquired the skills to become contributing members of these professions. We maintain a close liaison with professional companies in Vancouver, casting agents, and directors, most of whom regularly employ our graduates. Intake is limited to ensure students receive intensive individual training.

Particular emphasis is placed on the development of an integrated voice and body as an expressive tool. Communication with the audience and fellow actors is stressed. Students are also encouraged to develop their creative contribution to the theatre process. The acting option comprises six terms. The emphasis in Terms One, Two and Three is on class and project work. Students in Terms One, Two and Three must also participate in extensive crew work on Studio 58 productions. Students in Terms Four, Five and Six, while continuing with class work, devote most of their time to rehearsal and performance. Attention is also paid to developing audition techniques for film and television and preparation of audition material to be used upon graduation. Acting for film and television is also covered.
