ABOUT US
In 1999 we received our 501c3 status. From there, we grew from young students performing musical revues onstage, to a company offering a full circle of opportunities for all ages including adults! Twenty-plus years later we have seasoned into an organization that has provided classes in musical theatre, theatre, ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical, jazz, Bollywood, Irish dance, Kindermusik, Tahitian Dance, Drill Team + Poms and more! Participants learn, grow, and perform! Performances include studio showcases, summer camps, dance intensives, workshops, annual spring productions at the Abilene Convention Center, and annual musical theatre productions at the Historic Paramount Theatre.
OUR MISSION
Abilene Performing Arts Company, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, youth-centered musical theatre, theatre, dance, and music organization.
