Beverly Hills Playhouse

"I have been a part of BHP SF for 2 years now with no prior acting experience. This has been an amazing training ground to get my acting career started and continue to hone my craft. The teachers have a ton of experience and have helped prepare me for the industry. Most importantly, they love what they do and are committed to their students. I have been with an agent for a year now and started working as an actor within the first few months. It has been such an amazing experience to have teachers and classmates that inspire you, support you and want to see you succeed. I couldn't have asked for a better place to become an artistic killer."

"I have been studying at BHP-SF under Rob Zimmerman for 3 years. I started in the orientation class with no experience and I now have an agent and book acting jobs regularly. There is no way I would be pursuing this career without the support, kindness, ass-kicking and intelligence of the school. Not only am I a better actor, but I am a better person because of BHP. It's just a great place. I started with almost 0 knowledge, but through the integration of reading plays and watching movies into the curriculum, I am able to better collaborate on set. It's a well rounded, on-going education."

"Plain and simple: This class is one of the main reasons I am now a full time working actor in San Francisco. They taught me everything I needed to achieve my dreams in this tough industry. And now I am in the process of doing just that! They teach Acting- Attitude- Administration. My acting skills have greatly improved, my attitude is remains positive even in extremely demanding and strenuous situations, and my administration skills are outstanding. (I do at least 2 hours of admin every single day.) There are no off days. These are the keys to success in this career and it all starts with the Beverly Hills Playhouse in San Francisco. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have been part of this group of supportive and uplifting artists! Thank you Rob Zimmerman and everyone else who has pushed me to be the artist that I am today!"

"The Beverly Hills Playhouse has been my home for the past 2 years. I've found friends, colleagues, compatriots, as well as my passion for acting here. I was already a fairly successful actor before joining, but I have found that my talents have grown exponentially since I've joined. It's an intense yet nurturing environment to grow, and you really find out what it means to be "director-proof". The training is incredibly hands-on - you act as a director, producer, costumer, make-up artist, actor, etc. for every scene you put up - and in that way, It is invaluable experience for any production you book. If you want to be a professional actor, this is where you want to hone your craft!"

"I've joined The Beverly Hills Playhouse SF almost 9 months ago and I can't believe how quickly time flies! This school teaches the fundamentals of acting from all angles whether it be on stage, on set, or day to day life. We learn the positive attitudes that help actors achieve their goals in this challenging industry. The classes are a wonderful mix of talented actors some whom been acting for many years to those just getting their first taste. Our instructor Robert molds the lessons to each individual which is great for the class to observe and learn. When you come in to class there is this amazing energy and support that channels through your performance!"
