ANGOLA PERFORMING
ARTS ACADEMY

"Opening up the world for children through the Arts"

WHO WE ARE.........

Through a fun, hands-on creative process, the Angola Performing Arts Academy (APAA) helps youth develop their minds through peforming arts training and performance experiences.

At this time in our non profit development, we offer a 2 week theather arts camp for children 10-15 years of age.  This camp takes place on the Trine University Campus and the performances at held at the T. Furth Center.

In addition, private guitar, ukelele, bass and piano lessons are available at 45 S. Public Square (which is also the main office location).

As we devlop arts opportunities for children in Angola and the surrounding communities, please considering being a supporter or volunteer in some way. 

There is nothing greater than seeing children succeed and providing opportunites where they can shine.
