PSA is where I was first introduced to “Grease,” which I had no idea was going to become such a huge part of my life. The instructors at PSA not only foster creativity, but more importantly, compassion. PAEC gave me the training and confidence I needed to pursue a career in the arts. I will forever be grateful for my time at PSA.
