Los Angeles, CA, March 5, 2022 – The Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio (EMAS) has moved to their new studio home in the vibrant North Hollywood Arts District.

EMAS had to close its Studio City location due to the pandemic and the need to shift to online training. EMAS returned to in-person classes in July of 2021.

“Although we have been offering in-person classes for the past 8 months, we didn’t have our own home. We were graciously welcomed by a number of North Hollywood theatres to hold our classes there, but it feels so good to have our own location again.” says owner Elizabeth Mestnik.

EMAS is already offering their full 2-year Professional Meisner Program as well as Scene Study and Acting Technique for Beginners.

The Summer Meisner Technique Intensive will start June 27th, 2022 and is currently accepting applications.
Director/Owner Elizabeth Mestnik explained “As the Covid-19 numbers continue to drop we look forward to returning to offering our full offerings of classes including Movement, Voice, Audition Technique and Shakespeare by the fall.”
The Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio is now located at 4713 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91602.
