About PAPA

Actor Paul O'Sullivan and I created this school to provide the highest quality drama education to local children and adults alike. 
Our mission for The Peterborough Academy of Performing Arts: to provide the highest calibre of education in the performing arts to students of all ages and experiences, so that they may achieve their fullest potential as artists, and community members.


P.A.P.A. will provide an educational environment that fosters the artistic, intellectual, and personal growth of its students and prepares them for the next level of their artistic education.


P.A.P.A. will engage renowned faculty members in many disciplines, by providing a collaborative work environment and involving them fully in the artistic and educational life of the community.


P.A.P.A. is committed to upholding the diversity of the community by fostering an environment that is inclusive, supportive, and welcoming to all.

Thank you to The Fabulous Theatre Guild for providing us with everything we needed to create 2 GREAT PAPACAMPS! Thanks to parents, councillors and mostly THESE AMAZING KIDS! Enjoy this Video showcasing the fun we share!

Improv is an excellent foundation for gaining confidence, encouraging teamwork, sharing ideas, and taking creative risks in an environment that is safe to do so. Through a series of easy to learn spontaneity games, your kids will quickly surprise you, but mostly they will surprise themselves. Improv is a skill your children will take with them and utilize, whatever path they choose.

Testimonials

“I am what some would describe as a “P.A.P.A Lifer”, having taken classes of Improv, Musical Theatre, Voice Acting, Stage Acting, and many more underneath the P.A.P.A roof! Starting very early on I became an assistant for March Breaks and Summer Camps, and have long kept my reputation of the biggest kid in the room.”​ Raine Lamoureux
