The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) is a private conservatory for the performing arts in New York City^[1] and Los Angeles, California. The conservatory offers both Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees and two-year certificates in professional performance. Programs are offered in acting, musical theatre, dance, and performing arts. It is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre.^[2]

History

AMDA was founded in 1964 by Philip Burton and the New York theatre community.^[3] By 1970, the school had outgrown its original location on East 23rd Street and moved into a new building on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. A few years later, further growth prompted a move to the Ansonia Building.^[4] In the 1990s a second location, which is now the principal location of AMDA New York, was opened near Lincoln Center.^[3]

In 2003 the school expanded west by opening AMDA Los Angeles in the Vine Tower Building.^[5] AMDA is a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) granting performing arts college with campuses in both New York and Los Angeles.^[5]

Campuses

The New York City campus is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The principal facility is located at 211 West 61st Street,^[1] directly behind Lincoln Center. The other half of the campus is located at the Ansonia building, on West 73rd Street.^[3]

The Los Angeles campus is located in the Hollywood Entertainment District, with its principal facility in the Vine Tower Building.^[5]

AMDA's Los Angeles campus features four main theatres for learning, skill development and performance including a black box theatre, two laboratory theatres, and an outdoor amphitheater. Other facilities include rehearsal space, film, TV and editing facilities, library, the AMDA Café, and the campus piazza.^[3]
