YOUTH ENSEMBLE is an exclusive, audition-only educational program for the best and the brightest young talent.  This is quality theatre by and for kids of all ages. Participants are responsible for memorizing lines, music and choreography.  Members learn the craft of theater through the process of preparing for live performances. Youth Ensemble performances are produced, directed and performed on the MAINSTAGE in the same manner as our professional theatre productions.

PAA is proud to have an experienced, top quality directing team consisting of professionals in their fields.  See Instructor Profiles for more information.
 

Not everyone that auditions will be cast.  Casting will be determined based on ability, training, experience, and audition technique.  If you have never performed in one of our Youth Ensemble shows, or did not get the part you wanted, we encourage you to take advantage of one of our Performing Arts Academy classes.
