About us
Playhouse Paris is an acting school focused on Meisner training.
Tracy & Mark Pellegrino taught acting for over 15 years at Playhouse West in Los Angeles, which was not only a school fully endorsed by Sanford Meisner but a place he chose to work, refine and enhance his original exercises during his last ten years of teaching.
Aside from teaching, Tracy worked personally with Sanford Meisner on one of his last films. She has won several screenplay writing awards and was head of the Shakespeare company at Playhouse West. Mark has been a successful film and tv actor for more than 25 years.
