Now Auditioning for 2021 Spring Semester

Students work closely with a faculty of professional actors, directors, producers, and playwrights who are actively working in theater, film, and television in Washington, D.C. and beyond. The intensive training offered by our school can make your dream of working as an actor a reality. 

​Tuition at NCDA is competitively priced for the area and dramatically lower than similar acting classes in Los Angeles and New York City.

NCDA complies with rules and regulations from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges and the USDE, which means that students are eligible to apply for government financial aid in the form of grants, subsidized loans, etc.

Accreditation also ensures that the curriculum is continually reviewed by a panel of education experts and industry professionals.
