MSOPA

This place has no business charging as much as they do. All you do in Foundations is prepare a single monologue throughout the whole course and work on it every class, in front of other people. That's all. Very few acting exercises here and there that get repeated over and over. Nearly no acting with other classmates. You get teachers reading theory off pages they barely understand, conversations with other school staff that can last up to half an hour, endless plugging of other events, and an overall lack of consideration for your time.

MSOPA is the home of art and acting. For anyone aspiring to become a star but unsure of the path, Josa Maule, owner and founder of MSOPA, will be your best guide and ‘Acting Mama,’ helping you thrive. So don’t worry—MSOPA has got you covered! With a wide range of classes and a diverse set of industry-experienced teachers, pursuing your passion here will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

MSOPA is a one stop destination for all acting aspirants. I have attended their workshops/classes and all of them are great. They have a great body of experienced instructors who have dealt with actors in Hollywood and Bollywood industries. Apart from acting, the school encourages building discipline, leadership and fosters networking with the media industry. Even if I never act again in this life, I will never forget my years in MSOPA. Lastly, the Founder Josa Maule is a great human being, mentor and she knows what she does - big time.

Fantastic acting school where our child was at his happiest in his youth! Over the course of several years at MSOPA, it became his home away from home where his love of acting developed in the most nurturing and encouraging environment. Josa and her team are stellar teachers and mentors to anyone who wants to pursue acting either as a hobby or professionally. 30+ years in the business means they're doing something right!

Great team. Easy format. Talented teachers. But most importantly is the warm welcome from Montreal's, one and only Icon, Josa. She opens her heart to all her students and is an inspiration to all. Once you become a member of MSOPA you then become part of Josa’s Family. Thank You MSOPA

I have been to many acting schools from Dawson College in Montreal to The Second City Chicago to Strasberg New York and I can definitely Josa and MSOPA are world class. I have taken many courses there with every teacher except musical theatre which I want to take but has never fit my schedule. These teachers are working professionals, not academics, and they will share all they know with you. What a gift!

I learned so much and keep on learning. Very safe environment, surround yourself with respectful people. This is the perfect drama school to have fun and focus on your craft.
