Theater, as an art form, not only entertains but also nurtures essential skills that can benefit kids from Kindergarten through high school. 

Whether they dream of a future in the limelight or simply want to explore their creative side, after-school theater classes offer numerous advantages that extend far beyond the stage.

From fostering creativity and confidence to honing life skills, theater offers a holistic approach to education and personal growth. By encouraging kids to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the magic of the stage, theater classes shape young individuals into well-rounded, empathetic, and self-assured adults.


Performing Arts Academy (PAA) offers classes focusing in:

ACTING: Acting classes teach students how to embody and portray different characters convincingly, exploring emotions, physicality, and the art of storytelling on stage.

VOICE: Voice classes focus on developing vocal techniques, projection, diction, and expression, enabling students to deliver their lines with clarity and emotion.

DANCE: Dance classes teach various dance styles and movements, helping students improve their coordination, rhythm, and expression through body language and choreography.

TECHNICAL THEATRE: Technical theater classes focus on behind-the-scenes aspects of theater production, teaching students skills in lighting, sound, set design, and stage management, essential for creating a seamless and captivating theatrical experience.
