Actor's Workshop

The Actor's Workshop (also known as the San Francisco Actor's Workshop) was a professional theater company established in 1952 by San Francisco State University professors Jules Irving (1925-1979) and Herbert Blau (1926-2013) and their respective wives, Priscilla Pointer (born 1924) and Beatrice Manley (1921-2002).
