Have you ever been curious about finding an artistic home to explore, create and perform? Look no further than the Paramount School of the Arts (PSA) located in Downtown Aurora.

PSA has been providing classes, camps and workshops in theater, music, dance, & more to the western suburbs since our opening in 2019. PSA prides itself on its education-first approach to all curriculums and is committed to breaking down all barriers to the arts and arts education. Whether it’s your first performing arts class or you’re a seasoned artist, PSA has something for you.

Students as young as the age of three are encouraged to explore movement and creativity in classes such as little leapers, messy movers, or creative dramatics. For students in grades 6-12 we have a wide variety of classes to choose from including; vocal techniques, dance conditioning and choreography, and acting on camera to name a few. PSA also offers robust adult programming including classes in piano, tap, vocal techniques, and improv.

For a more intense training opportunity PSA has audition-based programs in musical theater, dance, and acting. These audition programs are year-long cohorots for students that want to deepen their understanding of performing arts as a career and prepare for professional and collegiate opportunities. The connection we have to our regional theater allows our students to work with industry professionals that they see on our stages; some of the students at PSA have even been cast in Paramount Theatre’s productions such as Wizard of Oz, Fun Home, and most recently The Sound of Music. PSA also offers workshops with industry professionals such as Thayne Jasperson from Hamilton on Broadway, Paul-Jordan Jansen from Paramount Theatre’s Sweeney Todd, or Mallory Maedke from Paramounts Little Mermaid, and most recently Broadway’s Six-The Musical.

The skills and experiences you will gain from participating in the performing arts transcend into all facets of your life. Team work, dedication, and most importantly creativity will foster a deep understanding of yourself and others, while also promoting self confidence and individualism. The arts have always provided a place for everyone to belong, and Paramount School of the Arts cultivates this for every student that walks through the door.
