The West Hollywood Park is located in the heart of the city. It's in a very prime location along Santa Monica Boulevard and San Vicente Boulevard. The park has a swimming pool, basketball courts, a tiny tot office, a playground for children and plenty of green space to relax. The West Hollywood Park's facilities are available for recreational activities, community meetings and sports activities.
Since 1968, The Actors Studio West has been located in the William S. Hart house in the park named after the famous actor. Lee Strasberg would spend half of each year here and the other half teaching at the Actors Studio in New York. Since his passing, many famous actors have taken part in teaching at the world famous Actors Workshop. Martin Landau and Mark Rydell are currently the joint directors of this facility.
The Hart house and a separate small theatre are used for classes, auditions and small productions. Many productions have been staged in the West Hollywood area, all free to the public. Once you are accepted into the Actors Studio you are a member for life. Auditions are held twice a year. For more information, please refer to the Studio's website.
