Preserving Legacy.
Inspiring the Future.
Supporting the next generations of actors, writers, and directors through the preservation of Lee Strasberg’s work.
“Everything Lee gave to the theatre—his knowledge, his vision, his relentless pursuit of truth—we have placed at the heart of The Creative Center. Whether it’s through a scholarship, a new play commission, or the preservation of Lee’s teachings, we strive to extend his hand to the next generation. We offer them what he offered so many: a place to grow, to risk, and to become the greatness of which they dreamed.”
— Anna Strasberg, founder of The Lee Strasberg Creative Center
