Circle in the Square Theatre & School

The Circle in the Square Theatre School began when Circle in the Square Theatre was located on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. The theatre was producing professional plays on a regular basis and hiring young actors. Producer, Theodore Mann wanted to be part of the training of the potential actors for their productions. At the time there were no full-time training programs offered, only individual classes. Mann decided he wanted to create a school where the complete aspects of actor training were taught and so launched Circle in the Square Theatre School.
