The Journey Begins

We are excited to announce the Excelsior Performing Arts Academy and Youth Theater for Northeast Indiana.  Our core faculty brings years of experience in the performing arts to our students.

At Excelsior, the student is the focus and though classes are in the performing arts, what the student really receives is confidence and poise.  The academy provides a nurturing environment where students feel safe to take chances without fear of failure or ridicule.  Excelsior provides a space where young minds can expand and achieve things they had only dreamed.  Learning respect for themselves and those around them, the student feels more confident and in control.

Students can take a wide range of classes in theater, vocal music and stage movement and then put those lessons to use through the various productions Excelsior stages each year.

Our Mission: to foster an educational and nurturing environment where developing  Performers can be opened to think for themselves and to be respectful of themselves and others. Excelsior is where we train minds, bodies, voices and spirits to achieve that end while providing art and education to the greater community.
