Performing Arts Academy
Our Philosophy
Theatre is fun! It also builds social and interpersonal skills that can be used for a lifetime. The classes, all based on a foundation of acting and improvisation, are designed to help students build the skills needed to succeed on the stage and beyond.
Calendar
We generally offer programming all year long:
- Summer Camps: one or two week classes offered in morning, afternoon or full day sessions.
- Fall Semester: After school programs, typically between 4 pm and 7 pm
- Spring Semester: After school programs, typically between 4 pm and 7 pm
- Workshops & Intensives: Classes & workshops outside of the semester calendar.
Financial Aid
Our goal is for our classes to be accessible to any interested student. Please contact us about need-based aid including discounts and payment plans.
CLASS POLICIES
Ages: Classes levels are determined by the school grade in which the student is enrolled in as of Fall of 2023. No experience necessary.
Final Showcase: Each class will host a showcase on the final day of class. Especially for our younger students, these exhibitions won't be complete or polished theatrical performance, but will be a showcase of the activities from the classroom. Our classroom focus will be outside of memorization and the rehearsal process and instead will focus on skill development.
Parent Pack
Complete policies are available in our Parent Pack, available to be downloaded as a PDF.
