In response, the New York campus erected a new Stella Adler campus in Los Angeles, the Stella Adler Art of Acting Studio, which I do not attend and will not be commenting on here.

It is for these reasons I chose the Stella Alder LA campus. Secondly, the New York school incorporates other techniques while Los Angeles is strictly Adler technique. The New York campus sought to remove the LA campus' Not For Profit status, which the present board of directors believed would be against Stella's wishes. After her death, the board of directors in the New York campus wanted to join forces with the Los Angeles campus, and our board of directors in Los Angeles resisted for a number of reasons. Stella Adler, in her lifetime, founded two unaffiliated schools: one in New York, and one in Los Angeles (the one I attend, Stella Adler Academy of Acting).

The difference between the two Los Angeles Stella Adler schools is an important one, but often difficult to get to the root of due to ongoing litigation. I often notice questions/comments/concerns about the Adler schools in this subreddit and thought I'd help out!
