We have had such an amazing experience at PPAC! Both my daughter and son have participated in musicals, voice lessons, dance lessons, and more. Their shows are always top notch and my kids always love their time there!

My 3rd grader has been doing theater at PPAC since she was in kindergarten, and it is her absolute favorite thing. I’ve loved watching her grow and improve as a performer, and seeing her self-confidence bloom. My younger son has joined a few shows as well, and I couldn’t be happier! They love the teachers, and I’m so impressed with the way they nurture the young performers.
We also use PPAC for private music lessons, and have been very happy. I love that there are opportunities for recitals every few months.

My son really enjoys going to the performing arts center. He loves the atmosphere and the classes. It’s clear that both professionals and truly passionate people work there.

My daughter has been a theater student at Plymouth Performing Arts Center for the last four years. During that time, she has had tremendous opportunities to put on a variety of productions, and participate in every level of the shows. The instruction, guidance and support from Mr. Justin, Blaze and their supporting team have helped her grow in ability, confidence and overall stage presence. The friendships she has developed over the last four years are truly cherished, and her instructors are looked to as role models. She has even mentioned aspiring to teach at PPAC some day! She has expanded her classes to include Glee this year, and could not be happier in that program as well. We are so grateful for this wonderful creative outlet for her 🙂

We feel so fortunate to have found PPAC. They have helped my daughter find her voice and build her skills in musical theater and beyond. The teaching artists are wonderful. They foster growth through the context of creating high quality productions and students truly learn by doing. An example of their professionalism and empathy was displayed when my daughter sustained an injury while at school. At PPAC, she was a part of a production at the time. Every PPAC professional connected to the theater was so supportive of helping her to continue in the show while she recovered and even re-blocked numbers so that she could safetly participate. This meant so much to her and was a true highlight for her during a challenging time. We will always appreciate and remember their kindness and support.

My daughter has been participating in the theater program, and vocal lessons, at PPAC for a year and a half, and it has truly impacted her life in so many positive ways! She loves the instructors, and has made wonderful friendships – and the skills she is learning on stage are being carried into her every day life. We truly cannot say enough things about how incredible this program is.
Her vocal coach, Kathryn, has given her so much confidence and has helped her achieve a level of singing performance she couldn’t have imagined two years ago.

I will follow my daughter’s voice teacher to the ends of the earth. She has gotten so much out of her lessons and her confidence on stage has grown exponentially since starting there.
Grace
My son is with PPAC since summer 2024, and he loves every minute of it. His teacher understands every kids’ learning pace. Staffs are all very professional & maintains a high standard in running the center. I can see my son’s maturity grows towards music in short period of time and we look forward for more learning adventures. Music truly nurtures discipline, confidence, and patience, thanks to PPAC for being the best place for my son to express his creative side.

Amazing classes and summer camp!
Jeanne McGee
PPAC has been amazing in helping my child build confidence and falling in love with theater!
Daisy
My son loves taking weekly piano lessons. His teacher Mrs. Naomi is the best!!! Thanks PPAC for creating wonderful memories for my family.
Rachel Streit
My daughter loves the musical theater camps and K-2 classes. She usually avoids reading at all costs but when she gets a new script, she equally dives into the pages. She is now in her fourth production. Going to theater class is the one activity she always wants to do no matter her mood. I have been blown away by every performance, absolutely amazed by what these kids can do. The microphones, the stage the lights, the music, and the choreography all add to make it a fabulous show.

My son absolutely loves going to music classes at Plymouth Performing Arts. The teachers are so amazing and have the kids engaged the entire time. We also had someone come to our house for my son’s birthday party and it was a huge hit.

It is my daughters first time and she absolutely loves it. The parent communication is fantastic and they are beyond organized.

They nurture young performers to be the best they can be while also making performing fun.

PPAC has a wonderful staff that empowers children of all ages. The staff builds confidence and ability in each student, allowing them to meaningfully contribute to wonderful performances. I highly recommend their musical theater programs to anyone whose children have any interest in musical theater.

PPAC offers incredibly high-level, year-round musical theater opportunities for children. The instructors and directors are incredibly gifted, always striving to get the most out of the kids and pull together incredible performances. My daughter loves acting and has thrived at PPAC, where she has had the chance to be part of a variety of shows, with appropriate age groupings, true costuming, sets, and tech. Performing arts builds self-confidence, casts bond together in friendship, it’s a real creative outlet, away from screens. Performing arts are not often provided at the elementary school level, and PPAC has been the perfect solution for my daughter. And she’s learning and growing skills that will serve her in many aspects of life, not just on stage.
