My family and I absolutely love Plymouth Performing Arts Center. Both of my daughters started when they were 4 years old and are now 13 and 10. Mr. Justin and has been their theater teacher the entire time and his consistency, kindness, and dedication have made such a positive impact on our family. He is efficient, expressive, and amazing with all the kids. He not only teaches them how to perform but also creates a supportive, positive environment that makes me proud to be part of this community. We couldn’t be more thankful for everything he brings to this program.
The teachers, the friendships and the amount of confidence that this program has instilled in my daughters is what keeps us coming back year after year and has been priceless to us. We love watching each performance and watching our daughters progress after every show and we couldn’t be more proud. We have been truly amazed by the performances that are put on especially in the timeframe that they do it in.
As my daughters are getting older they have had the privilege to take advantage of additional classes offered. They have been enrolled in voice lessons, Glee, dance and film classes with Ms. Lesia and Mr. Robert. We feel incredibly fortunate to learn from such knowledgeable, talented, kind, and supportive people.
This truly is a special place and one that both my daughters have described as a second home. I highly recommend!

I canโt say enough about PPAC. My very shy daughter has absolutely blossomed in their musical theater program. After the first few weeks she said, โI wish I could go there every day.โ And thank goodness in the summer she can, doing every camp possible! Sheโs made friends of all ages, and Iโve never seen her happier. The staff from the directors to the front desk are loving and kind. They make sure that every kid has time in the spotlight and the performances are consistently dazzling.We are so grateful for this magical place!

Sending our son to PPAC has been one of the best growth experiences of his life. He joined out of curiosity but soon discovered his love of the stage. He has been involved in multiple performances both during the school year and at PPAC summer camps. The director is extremely engaged, enthusiastic and supportive. Our son has also taken voice lessons with a stellar teacher which helped him learn new skills and have the opportunity to perform in recitals. Everyone who works there is exceptionally dedicated and professional. Highly recommend to any family!

My 3rd grader has been doing theater at PPAC since she was in kindergarten, and it is her absolute favorite thing. Iโve loved watching her grow and improve as a performer, and seeing her self-confidence bloom. My younger son has joined a few shows as well, and I couldnโt be happier! They love the teachers, and Iโm so impressed with the way they nurture the young performers.
We also use PPAC for private music lessons, and have been very happy. I love that there are opportunities for recitals every few months.

My daughter absolutely loves the PPAC theater community! We started a few years ago and have signed up for every session and at least one summer camp since. Mr. Justin and his team have helped her grow and let her shine! This group is very welcoming, supportive, and fun. Keeping the class to only 20 students means everyone gets a good role. The structure of each session makes it very manageable and predictable so by show time everyone knows exactly what to do and puts on a tremendous performance!

My daughter has been a theater student at Plymouth Performing Arts Center for the last four years. She has had tremendous opportunities to put on a variety of productions, and participate in every level of the shows. The instruction, guidance and support from Mr. Justin, Blaze and their supporting team have helped her grow in ability, confidence and overall stage presence. The friendships she has developed over the last four years are truly cherished, and her instructors are looked to as role models. She has expanded her classes to include Glee this year, and could not be happier in that program as well. A few years ago, we also hosted a karaoke birthday party at PPAC, which was wonderfully organized and fun. We are so grateful for this wonderful creative outlet for her ๐

We recently had my 9 year olds daughterโs birthday party at PPAC and everyone had a blast! Planning/booking was smooth and easy. The girls were able to pick 15 songs and sing on stage with show lights! Our party hostess, Maddy, was great and helped us during the stage time and party room time. I would highly recommend choosing PPAC for a party location!

We LOVE PPAC!! Our daughter has found a home here and we all couldnโt be happier. She takes singing lessons here and has done two summer theater camps and a fall theater program. She is all signed up for the winter Willy Wonka! It has a very family feel. When my daughter walks in, every worker knows her name, from the person at the front desk, to the tech person, to the owner. We had been in productions prior to here where there are 60 kids in a production and though the productions were great, our daughter has learned and grown more at PPAC in the past 8 months than she did in the years before. I canโt say enough great things about the place! I recommend to any family!

My daughter loves the musical theater camps and K-2 theater classes. She usually avoids reading but when she gets a new script she eagerly pours through it. Of all the activities that my daughter does, this is the only one that she always wants to do no matter her mood. I’ve been blown away by every production. They do an amazing job with the kids, the choreography, the music, and the lights. Putting a microphone on every child means each one can be heard. I love that they stress every part is equally important.
