Phasis II was founded in 1996 and is the very first theater company of its kind. We take actors emerging from all levels of their training straight from the page to the stage. Our unique production process provides the open door to a necessary next step in an actor's development of his craft-live performance. To date, Phasis ii has given 35 drama students the opportunity to participate in a live performance experience, providing the exposure they need to be seen and cast. We see ourselves as developing a "new service" to the actor, which is generally not provided by other theater companies in New York City today. By providing a showcase production experience where actors can put their understanding of live performance technique to the ultimate test--they can not only be cast in leading roles, but also expand their inner confidence as performing artists.
