Objectives:

Discovering the full potential that exists within each person is what we are striving for at PTW.

Creating a warm, supportive and culturally rich environment where every person can feel good about themselves as they grow through creative expression.

Selecting people on our staff with whom we can entrust our ideals. These are outstanding and gifted artists who are currently working in their respective fields and wish to share their expertise and love for the theatre with others.

Challenging each student is an important part of the PTW ideal and the program is designed for the individual to accelerate at his own pace. Thus, the flexibility of class placement is primarily based on ability rather than age.

Building a positive influence on a child's future is a key concern at PTW.

Regardless of ability or choice of course, we recognize our responsibility to help each person to acquire not only the given skills, but to build the inner resources of self-confidence and self-worth.
