Uta Hagen's A Challenge for the Actor is recommended reading for anyone considering taking classes at the Howard Fine Acting Studio, and students study it alongside Howard Fine's 'Fine on Acting'.

Concepts originating in Hagen's book, such as 'making place' and Hagen's object exercises are studied in depth in many of our classes, making Hagen and her teachings an integral part of the backbone of The Studio. 

PRAISE FOR UTA HAGEN

'Uta Hagen is our greatest living actor; she is, moreover, interested and mystified by the presence of talent and its working; her third gift is her passion to communicate the mysteries of the craft to which she has given her life. There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by her.' - Fritz Weaver
