Production performance academy is a school scheduled program which produces both a musical and non-musical in 1 semester. The Academy is not about individuals—it is about students working together and creating all aspects of major productions. Academy productions and activities are group efforts cumulating in a final product that is a symbol of the collaborative efforts of all involved. The Academy is open to all—no matter what high school grade you are in or what your skills are. It is a place where everyone is equal and everyone will be treated with respect.
