In 1974, The Academy expanded westward and the first Los Angeles campus was opened in Pasadena, before finally moving to its current Hollywood location in 2000. Built on what was once the south lot of Charlie Chaplin Studios, The Academy's Los Angeles campus features acting and camera studios, along with an extensive costume and prop shop. In its movement and vocal production building one will find generous rehearsal and dance spaces, a vocal production studio and a scene shop. Also, the campus is home to an impressive 150-seat theatre that is used for numerous full-scale productions throughout the year. The library is located in one of the historic Chaplin Studio bungalows. It houses a computer lab, a screening room, and a comprehensive collection of reference materials on every aspect of theatre and on-screen acting and production. The collection includes published scripts, musical scores and recordings. Plus, its media studios are outfitted with all the technology students will need for on-camera training, including advanced video and lighting systems. The Academy's Los Angeles campus creates the perfect environment for students to grow and learn to succeed as a working actor in today’s thriving entertainment industry.
