As the founder and director of  Lopez Studios Inc.,  I am often asked the same question: "How do your students achieve such remarkable success in the performing arts industry? It seems like Lopez Studios produces more working professionals than any other school in the Washington, DC Metro area."

It's a wonderful compliment, and it speaks volumes about the dedication of our incredible faculty and the hard work of our talented students. While our rigorous technical training in  acting, piano,  theatre, and  voice is undoubtedly a cornerstone of our program, the truth behind our students' achievements runs much deeper. It's not just about the monologues or the high notes; it's about something far more profound: nurturing the whole person.

At Lopez Studios Inc., we firmly believe in a holistic approach to education in the performing arts. We see our students not just as performers in training, but as individuals with unique talents, dreams, and yes, vulnerabilities. Our "superpower," our "secret sauce," if you will, lies in cultivating a culture of confidence, kindness, unconditional love, respect and conscientiousness that extends far beyond the stage. As we state in our founding philosophy, our programs are built to "develop the facets of Character, Integrity, Discipline and Service." We believe this holistic foundation is the key to both artistic and personal success.

We understand that the entertainment industry, while exciting and rewarding, can also be challenging and demanding. Technical skill alone is not enough to navigate its complexities. Our students need resilience, empathy, strong character, and an unwavering belief in themselves. This is what we strive to instill in every young artist who walks through our doors.

We are proud to have produced students who have made their mark on every major entertainment platform. Our alumni have appeared on NBC, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Voice, American Idol, MTV, Broadway, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Nickelodeon. Their success is a testament to the holistic education they received here.

Consider the example of John Gluck, one of our  acting and vocal students, who landed a lead role on the NBC series Ordinary Joe. John's talent was undeniable, but it was his preparedness and professionalism, nurtured at our school, that made him a standout on set. Similarly, Dylan Carter, a vocal student, received a four-chair turn on NBC's The Voice, and Brandon Diaz made it to the Top 25 on American Idol. These accomplishments are a reflection of their exceptional training, but also of the confidence and perseverance we help our students build. In our view, this is more important than the technical training they receive.

Another one of our alumni, Chloè Bryan, landed a lead role on Broadway in School of Rock: The Musical. This incredible achievement was not just about her vocal prowess and acting skills; it was about the discipline and collaborative spirit we instill in our students, which is essential for success in a professional theatre environment.

These are just a few examples of how our holistic approach makes a tangible difference in the lives and careers of our students. By nurturing not just their artistic abilities but also their emotional intelligence, character, and sense of self, we empower them to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
