The New Actors Workshop was a two-year acting conservatory in New York City founded by Master Teachers Mike Nichols, George Morrison and Paul Sills in 1988.

The school offered a unique, dual-track curriculum combining Stanislavski-based technique with Viola Spolin Theater Games.

Sills, Morrison, and Nichols enjoyed a long association dating back to the 1950s at the University of Chicago.

At the end of their first year, students performed for family and friends in a New Actors Workshop Scene Night.

This production was most often a Story Theater show, a genre invented by Paul Sills in the 1960s.
