The Teen Performing Arts Academy (TPAA) Is designed to enrich, uplift, and enlighten students who are serious about the Performing Arts. The Academy is the perfect opportunity for dedicated performers to learn and hone their craft in an experience that includes professional training and mimics a professional rehearsal schedule. Students will hone their talents as actors, singers, and dancers by learning from working professional actors and directors.

The TPAA blends a wide range of master classes taught by various artists working within the professional Millbrook company with the rehearsal process for “Into the Woods. Jr.”  Having classes and rehearsals side by side gives students the opportunity to use their training immediately to help them grow and enrich their performances. All master classes and rehearsals are designed to help each young performer achieve at their maximum level.

The program culminates in a public performance of “Into the Woods. Jr.” A new take on Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s groundbreaking musical fairytale about wishes and the choices we make.
