From the iconic and award-winning live theatre organization, Drayton Entertainment, comes a program that gives youth exceptional theatre training. As a non-profit charitable organization, they are one of Canada’s most successful professional theatre companies. You may know them from their tenures at many acclaimed theatres and playhouses throughout Ontario. The Academy’s mission is to foster a life-long appreciation in performing arts in the youth they teach. This includes developing the core values of respect, creativity, growth, and accountability. The environment is diverse and inclusive and one could even say, loving. Kids learn confidence in themselves and as performers, with empowering exercises that push the kids to be their very best selves. For those so inclined, kids can take their performing arts training a step further with audition learning opportunities, which help them learn to move forward from failure and accept the challenges they are presented with.
