The Playground Los Angeles w/ Gary Spatz

Welcome to The Playground!

The Playground is the premiere young actor's conservatory in
Los Angeles. Our focus is teaching young actors the craft of on
camera film and television acting. We have two locations - one in
the heart of the Century City area of Los Angeles, adjacent to the
Westfield Shopping Center; and our Orange County Satellite Studios,
located in Costa Mesa, California in the Offices of South Coast Plaza.
Both locations are designed to create a nurturing environment for
young actors and a professional atmosphere with studio-grade lights,
cameras and monitors.

Gary Spatz, the Director of The Playground, is one of the top child
acting coaches in the world and has 25 years of experience
working with children in the entertainment industry projects include the Mickey Mouse Club, Suite Life, Roseanne, Everybody Loves
Raymond and many more. Gary is sought after to work with young actors for film and television projects and has worked with many of the
most successful young performers in Hollywood from Britney, Christina and Justin to Dylan and Cole!. A complete list of Gary's projects is
available on IMDb.

Gary has developed a comprehensive curriculum for young students/actors that incorporates his years of experience into every activity at
The Playground.

Let your child or teen explore acting with us - They can learn the craft of acting and be prepared to audition for film, television and
commercials, even if they have no previous experience.
