NEW! Homeschool Curriculum

Introducing PTPT Studio’s Homeschool Curriculum, offering classroom musical theatre education for students across the Port City.

With specialized classes in acting, music, and dance, PTPT Studio is creating a professional environment for aspiring artists to train. Our teachers hold BFAs in Musical Theatre and have worked professionally in both Musical Theatre and Film/Television.

Want to see the progress yourself? Our Homeschool CMT Track Students will get to take part in 2 Showcases throughout the Fall Semester, performing the material they have been working on in class. Our showcases will be performed live for friends and family, with a professional recording provided for the performers to use as they please!
