Our Mission

At Playhouse Theatre Academy, our mission is to ignite creativity and foster inclusivity by empowering artists of all ages—from 1 to 101—with transformative theatre programs that promote personal growth, exploration, and self-expression. Operated by Playhouse Theatre Group, Inc., we connect students with exceptional professional artists and productions through our partnership with the renowned Playhouse on Park. In an era where the arts are often sidelined in educational curricula, we are dedicated to offering vital resources and vibrant in-school programming to ensure all students have access to artistic opportunities. We aim to create a welcoming home for high-quality theatre instruction that champions brave, inclusive spaces, actively working to decolonize our curriculum and enrich programming for everyone. Playhouse Theatre Academy actively seeks to remove financial barriers by providing scholarships, ensuring every aspiring artist can engage with our programs. We transform aspiring actors and creatives into confident performers through immersive instruction and mentorship, equipping them with essential 21st-century skills to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Our commitment is to empower each learner to discover their unique voice, pursue their passions, and unlock their full potential while fostering a dynamic community that celebrates diversity, embraces collaboration, and inspires innovation in the arts. n.
