It started in 2003, founded by Rosie O'Donnell. She makes only brief appearances in the documentary that is all about the students."I was born here, and then I lived in the Dominican Republic until eight years old," she said."They give you an invitation to audition. Then when I was 10, I came over and then I got in somewhere for the summer program for that year," she said.Lori Klinger is the artistic and executive director.
"Our tagline here is, We are rehearsing for life,'" said Klinger."Have a commanding entrance, know your lines, look the part. All those things are what you need in any career."
