WELCOME

to the SUMMER SCHOOL for the PERFORMING ARTS

---

There is no life skill more valuable than the ability to effectively connect and communicate with the world around us. This effective interaction begins with self knowledge. Our mission at the Summer School for the Performing Arts is to teach and exercise positive effective expression of self through the living arts: musical theater and dramatic acting. Through active participation and healthy risk taking, students will be encouraged to find their own voice and wield its great power.

SSPA is open to students entering third grade and not older than fifteen years of age. The Summer School for the Performing Arts 2010 program will commence on June 28, 2010 and run through August 7, 2010. Hours are 8:30 am to 4:00 pm with extended day options available.

The Summer School for the Performing Arts offers tracks in Musical Theater, Dramatic Acting and Technical Theater as well as SSPA jr., a program designed for students entering grades one and two.

"I wanted to share with you that SSPA was a real life changing event for my daughter. After SSPA, she went to a sleep away camp called Explo where, as part of their evening program, they offer "coffee house" open mic opportunities.  To my shock, she got up and sang the entire Children of Eden song to a large group of her peers!  She would never have done this had she not gotten the great boost of  confidence that SSPA provided. Thank you for being who you are and making such a positive impact on the young people of our community. "
