<p>By the way, I’d like to mention that the official Drama Department Handbook has been released on the Drama Department Website and the Classical Studio is listed as one of the advanced studios. In fact, it is cited as an example of an advanced studio.</p>
<p>My name is Daniel and I am the Assistant Director of The Classical Studio in the Department of Drama at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. I write to present facts. </p>
<p>The Classical Studio remains in operation as it has been for the past 20 years. The dissolution of The Classical Studio has never been a subject of discussion in the Department of Drama. Indeed, Louis Scheeder (the studio’s Director) and I remain committed to the studio’s evolution. In April, we auditioned and accepted our 2010/2011 ensemble with whom we are quite excited to begin working in the fall.</p>
<p>I invite you to visit the Department of Drama’s website (drama.tisch.nyu.edu) for information about our studio and the Department in general. If you have questions that are not answered by the website, you can call the Department of Drama at 212-998-1850 and ask to speak with someone who can help you out. You should also feel free to contact me and/or Louis with any questions you may have about The Classical Studio.</p>
