Professional Theatre Audition Guide
Did you know many of PAA’s students also perform in professional theatres throughout the Denver Metropolitan area?
PAA’s professional teaching artists empower every student to become the best version of themselves—whether they’re performing on a PAA stage, a professional theatre stage, or the stage of life.
Through PAA’s distinguished teaching methods, PAA’s dedicated professional teaching artists elevate each student to the next level.
What’s PAA’s secret? Our unique teaching methods are defined not only by what PAA teaches, but how PAA teaches.
These methods include creating an intentional relational culture, grounded in empathy, transparency, and safety.
PAA follows a character-first teaching model – aka: The PAA Way, centered on preparation, attitude, and accountability.
Instructors focus on ensemble-based learning, cultivating teamwork, emotional intelligence, and mutual respect. They support the whole child (mind, heart, and craft)–while developing an inclusive environment where every student has a meaningful place in the story.
