Performing Arts Youth Theatre -- History

The Performing Arts Youth Theatre was founded by Loretta Wehbe in 1983, and has been creating theatre magic for twenty-five years. Our theatre has educated and provided instruction for students ages 8 to 18 in all aspects of the performing arts. This includes acting, improvisations, singing, dancing, directing, choreography, technical work (lights & sound), play writing, and creating music & lyrics for songs.
Professional actors and teachers, instruct students in the skills needed to perform, direct, choreograph, and work back stage. The overall emphasis of our theatre program has been to train the students in all aspects of the performing arts, to enable each child to perform at a level that will allow them to excel whether or not they choose to continue with the performing arts as their primary vocation. The theatre experience also allows our young people to become more self-assured so that our program affects other areas of their life.
