History of Theatre of Arts Founded by renowned thespian Ben Bard in 1927, Theatre of Arts is the longest continuously operating acting school in LA. Bard was widely known as a ”suave heavy” in the silent film era, however, with the advent of sound in 1927, Bard finds himself coaching any number of former silent film actors who respect Bard’s stage-trained ability to handle dialogue. In 1927, Bard’s wife, Ruth Roland, encourages and bankrolls her husband to open Ben Bard Drama, at a playhouse on Wilshire Blvd at Fairfax Avenue. It quickly establishes itself as one of the more successful acting schools in Hollywood, while also producing a mix of classic theater works and contemporary fare. Bard’s students included Mickey Rooney and Olivia da Havilland.

Bard departs the school in 1938, and the noted film and stage director Max Reinhardt takes over the operation and renames the school, the Max Reinhardt Theatre Workshop and opens a second facility on Sunset Blvd. Some noted alumni of the Reinhardt era include: Jack Carson, Gower Champion, Angie Dickinson, Alan Ladd, Cliff Robertson, Shirley Temple & Gig Young.

When Reinhardt departs the school in 1941, Jack Geller takes over and changes the name to The Geller Theatre Workshop. Geller assigns a brilliant Russian expatriate by the name of Michael Chekov in to direct the studio, as it’s main acting teacher. Mr. Chekhov was a student of the legendary Konstantin Stanislavski, who frequently referred to Chekov as a, “radical challenger to [his] own system of modern acting” and “ his most brilliant student.” With Chekhov at the helm, the school became the “go-to” acting school in Hollywood. Alumni during the Chekhov era include: Ingrid Bergman, Lloyd Bridges, Yul Brynner, Gary Cooper, James Dean, Clint Eastwood, Elia Kazan, Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe, Patricia Neal, Jack Palance, Gregory Peck, Jane Russell, Beatrice Straight, Susan Strassberg & Natalie Wood among many others.

After Chekhov passes away in 1955, Geller eventually turns the studio over to artist and entrepreneur Madame Valmar Oleska in 1959, who renames the school Theatre of Arts. Ms. Oleska would run the school for 41 years and some of the notable alumni during her tenure include: Frank Bonner, Anthony James, Greg Mullavey, Charlene Tilton & Vic Tayback.

In January 2000, the school is incorporated within Campus Hollywood, a consortium of performing arts academies including Theatre of Arts, The Musician’s Institute, Elegance International, International Dance Academy, Los Angeles College of Music, United Television Broadcasting, ESP Guitars, Takamine Guitars & Schecter Guitars.

Today, under the direction of Jason Weiss, Theatre of Arts remains the preeminent actor training program on the West Coast. The two- year degree granting program, employs a cutting edge curriculum specifically designed for the needs of today’s working actor. TOA’s faculty is comprised of working professionals and their current industry expertise affords students top notch training along with invaluable insight into the constantly evolving entertainment industry.
