Creative Pursuits Academy

thanks to .julia.fish for these shots of our morning and afternoon productions of W***y Wonka Kids! Photos will go out to parents soon 🩵🍭🧡

at creative pursuits we pride ourselves in helping our students focus on authentic storytelling. In mainstream theater it is easy for the story to get lost in the spectacle, and we believe in the importance of bringing our students back to an authentic interpretation of the words on the page! what does storytelling mean to you? 🩵🧡

Introducing : Leslie McRobbie, Creative Pursuits Academy Board of Directors Member and mom to Academy student Audrey 🩵🧡
We’re so thankful for our board, and their dedication and contribution to furthering the vision and direction of the Academy! Are you curious about how you can help further Creative Pursuits’ impact in the greater Lancaster community? Head to our website today 🩵🧡

a MASSIVE thank you to our summer interns!! (Top L-R: Julia, Ava, Zoë. Bottom L-R: Kaia, Carly, Foster) Each of our summer interns this year was a Creative Pursuits Alum, having done at least one (some, many!) show with the academy! We couldn’t have made it through the past three weeks without you. You are all that is good in the world, and we can’t wait to see what each of you does with the next chapter of your life!!
These interns were with us between one (1) and three (3) weeks of camp. They assisted in rehearsals, were given opportunities to teach/instruct, learned teaching tools from our creative team, and worked the deck for the performances. Are you interested in theater education? Do you love kids? Do you need an internship credit for college? Stay tuned to our socials for how you can learn more about the Creative Pursuits Academy Summer Internship Program.
