The studio was founded on 16 June 1927 in New York by David Vardi and Chava Yoalit. The first group of students at the beginning were workers from Newark, New Jersey. In November 1927 the studio was moved into the "HIAS" building, and on 25 February 1928, was led by Z. Y. Ankhi's three-act drama "Di gildene pave", edited and directed by Vardi and Yoalit (performed thirty-seven times). In September 1928 the studio began to participate each Shabbat evening at the theatrical "Mlvh-Mlkh", at which Vardi and the visitors themselves come out with various numbers and participate in the discussions about the theatre.

The second offering of the studio was Harry Sackler's dramatic étude "Der zeer zet zayn khlh" and Sholem Aleichem's "Mazel Tov", staged on 28 April 1929 at the Martin Beck Theatre on Broadway, directed by Vardi and Yoalit. The production afterwards was formed locally by the studio.

The studio had for a year issued a theatre journal called "Vardi-Yoalit-Studio-Bletlakh", edited by Ab. Goldberg, the president of the committee of one hundred people, which had supported the studio.

In the studio there, through Vardi and Yoalit, one learned acting technique, diction, mime, [grim], direction, play analysis, stage lighting, improvisation, artistic interpretation, etc.

At the studio there also was a children's group.

For the season 1929-30, the activity of the studio was temporarily suspended.
