The bicoastal acting school that bears the name of famed performer Stella Adler has launched a worldwide open call. The Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Art of Acting Studio are on the hunt for its next crop of stars. The annual audition tour for spots in its conservatory and summer intensive programs starts in February 2015 in Chicago, and will hit other major U.S. cities before venturing overseas to London in March and Sydney in August. But if you’re imagining an “American Idol”–style cattle call with lines around the block, think again. “Our auditions are very personal,” Ryan Chittaphong, the school’s New York–based marketing and cultural events manager, told Backstage. “We like to spend time with each applicant and really get to know them.” Actors are required to prepare two monologues—one classical and one contemporary. Both are performed in front of a panel of directors.
