AMB Actors Workshop is built on a simple belief: the craft of acting is learned through serious, sustained work — not shortcuts. We train actors who are committed to the craft, using methods drawn from decades of working at the highest levels of American theatre, film and television. The work is demanding. That's the point.
AARON BLAKELY, FOUNDER
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Aaron Blakely
Aaron Blakely has spent his career playing the complicated ones — characters who are simultaneously right and wrong, principled and compromised. His work spans leading roles at major regional theatres and a 13-episode recurring credit on Amazon's Man in the High Castle.
AMB Actors Workshop exists because Aaron believes the best teachers are still doing the work. Everything taught here comes directly from active practice — from the rehearsal room and the set, not the textbook.
