SHOWS
At PPA we do a number of full scale productions each year as well as many small scale in house presentations. These are very varied opportunities. These include full scale open air Shakespeare plays, modern musicals, junior productions and dance productions. We also run regular Easter and Summer Schools ("Show In A Week") in which the students rehearse and then perform a full scale show in just 7 days! There is something for everyone.
(Please visit our facebook page- 'PPA Studio' and instagram- 'PPA Canterbury' for images and video clips of past shows!)
