In SCAD production studios and theaters, student actors seize roles in multicamera comedy series, stage productions, flms, plays, musicals, TV shows, and immersive themed experiences. They receive instruction from professors with impressive credentials — accomplished actors, directors, and casting directors at major studios and networks. At the only university selected in all fve of The Hollywood Reporter’s academic program rankings, performing arts students give voice to animations, portray original characters in television pilots, and use virtual reality to create transcendent immersive experiences on stage and in themed attractions. Award-winning projects like student flms Kalos and Odyssey: A Star Wars Story as well as studentproduced sitcoms G.R.I.T.S., Nailed It!, and The Buzz ofer budding actors the platform to shape their on-camera presence.

SCAD students have unprecedented opportunities for scene-stealing interactions with top professionals through on-site auditions and invitation-only showcases with top agents, managers, and casting directors. SCAD is the only university with an on-site, professionally run casting office, which has connected more than 500 SCAD performing artists to flm and TV productions in Georgia, Los Angeles, and New York.
