History

[edit | edit source]

AMDA was founded in 1964 by Philip Burton and the New York theatre community.[4] By 1970, the school had outgrown its original location on East 23rd Street and moved into a new building on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. A few years later, further growth prompted a move to the Ansonia Building.[4] In the 1990s a second location, which is now the principal location of AMDA New York, was opened near Lincoln Center[4]

In 2003 the school expanded west by opening AMDA Los Angeles in the Vine Tower Building.[5]
