The American Academy of Dramatic Arts Los Angeles campus, established in 1974, is located in Hollywood, California, occupying a historic building on Yucca Street near the Capitol Records Building. The conservatory-style performing arts school operates as the West Coast branch of the original New York City institution founded in 1884. The Los Angeles campus features professional-grade performance spaces, acting studios, and a theater laboratory designed specifically for dramatic arts training. Students pursue a focused two-year program in acting for stage and screen, with coursework covering voice, movement, theater history, and on-camera technique. The Academy provides student housing through partnerships with nearby apartment complexes, though most students secure their own accommodations in the Los Angeles area.
