Performing Arts Academy

Welcome to the Spring Session of the 2012 Performing Arts Academy. We are offering 10 classes this Spring, including our Algonquin Youth Ensemble that requires an audition for Algonquin Arts Theatre's production of, Rumpelstiltskin. Our Theatre is proud of the growth of our academy and is happy to announce that we now offer more opportunity for focus in film, acting, singing, dance, auditioning and special interning project studies.

Explore our new classes such as, Learn to Ace an Audition & Teen Night. Our goal, however, is the same for each class - to provide a safe environment for students to explore their artistic abilities through performing arts and to have an opportunity to be creative!
