The Studio Story by Uta Hagen and Report to the Austrian Academy by Herbert Berghof
About this book
Herbert Berghof began his studio in New York in1945. Uta Hagen joined him in 1947. Together, they trained generations of actors as the Studio grew from rented space on 26th Street to today's three buildings at 120 Bank Street in the West Village. Uta wrote The Studio Story (and re-wrote it) as the Studio and HB Playwrights Foundation grew and expanded.Edith Meeks, Executive & Artistic Director of HB Studio has provided a foreword. In it she writes, “The personal and professional stories of Herbert Berghof and Uta Hagen are inextricably intertwined with the story of HB, their the haven they created for theater artists to pursue their own ideas and methods.”The publication of this book is a gift from Uta’s daughter Letty Ferrer and her grand-daughter, Teresa Teuscher, in honor of the Centennial of Uta’s birth.
