PSA, and specifically Lisa’s private teachings have truly been such a privilege to have. I started taking classes at PSA during the beginning of the Covid pandemic and quarantine, and even in that short time, I have grown so much as a performer. Lisa gave me the encouragement and the pure expertise to not only work harder on my talents but to feel confident in them! She helped me build my repertoire, and understand parts of my voice and the emotional depths of my performances I never saw before. Lisa is so good at what she does, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her and everyone at PSA!

I've been at PSA since I was 10 and could barely get any notice out of my mouth. Over the years, the amazing staff gave me the power and confidence to believe in myself. This allowed me to skills to be a significant cast member during each of my high school performances.
