Virtually ALL academic theater is training actors to be pros. And yes, Julliard productions do have a short run. I used to go and productions (including the first NYC production of Part One of Angels in America) only ran one weekend. Maybe they have increased the length of runs since I stopped going, but I doubt they increased them significantly. One hopes the training will help students do long runs, but again, actors usually do not know how to apply their training to long runs until they actually have the experience. That is one of the reasons organizations like The Acting Company that send recent graduates out on tour and programs that link training to a regional theater (like Yale or A.R.T.) have value.
