If a school is only as good as its instructors then this is one of the best. As one student put it: “Who would have though I would have received the best actor training in the mountains of NC?” Collectively our instructors have over 300 years of professional experience both in the industry and guiding students in LA and NYC.

NYS3 has developed this comprehensive online database for WNC’s performing arts community. Our goal was to help concentrate and organize the collective talent and resources in the WNC region. Ultimately this helps save time, resources, and money. The WNC One Source website also provides individuals, investors, artists, and film companies the ability to tap into the performing art scene and access the tools they need for their various types of productions.
