==== Dramatic Workshop/School of Drama ====
Between 1940 and 1949, The New School included the "Dramatic Workshop," a theater education program and predecessor of School of Drama founded by German emigrant theatre director Erwin Piscator. The department chairs hired by Piscator were Stella Adler (acting), Lee Strasberg (directing), and Herbert Berghoff (playwriting). Among the students of the Dramatic Workshop were Beatrice Arthur, Harry Belafonte, Marlon Brando, Tony Curtis, Ben Gazzara, Michael V. Gazzo, Rod Steiger, Elaine Stritch, Shelley Winters and Tennessee Williams. Prior to the Dramatic Workshop, The Group Theater under the leadership of Harold Clurman and Lee Strasberg taught dramatic arts. Subsequent to the Dramatic Workshop, both Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg ran studios at The New School.
