NYFE Summary
A neighborhood church became a workshop where actors, writers and directors could test their work away from a paying audience. Under Lee Strasberg, the Studio became closely associated with the acting exercises known as the Method.
The building's earlier purpose is still visible in its small temple-shaped front. Flat brick piers frame the central doorway beneath a low triangular pediment.
