Who We Are…
The Chicago Actors Studio is a well-established, reputable, and highly-recommended acting training institution in the heart of the city with roots going as far back as 1946. CAS was formed when famous acting training coach and performing arts icon, Ted Liss (Child’s Play, Mahogany, and more), decided to share his masterful skills of turning ordinary everyday individuals into top known professional actors of stage, screen and television. Following his death in 1992, former student of Ted Liss, Edward Dennis Fogell, now with countless credits of his own (Sad Affairs, Paradise Lost, Paradise Found), picked up the staff and carried Ted's teachings and legacy forward with The Chicago Actors Studio, cultivating many more, fine professionals of the arts.
Today, we offer a plethora of training that contributes to the well-rounded actor including audition workshops, monologue and cold reading training, on-camera training, even accent reduction classes, all within our cozy Northside studio.
