If you would like to donate directly, please use this link above (you can even specify a student or APA pathway i.e. Acting, Costume Design, Dance, Dramatic Production, Media, Pop, Musical Theatre, Orchestra, or Technical Theatre.)

This is APA’s biggest fundraiser of the year. This fundraiser is led by our very own APA Student Council, with all money raised directly benefiting our APA students. This year, our goal is to raise $50,000 for the extra expenses that go along with APA’s quality arts education. The funds raised will be used for APA fieldtrips, student dances, special master classes with industry professionals, the APA New Student BBQ and the APA Academy Awards in June.

Once again, APA is partnering with the Educational Enrichment Foundation for the Arts (or, “EEFA”) to make our Walk for the Arts the most successful ever. EEFA’s mission is to improve arts education by attracting local business and community support. The more EEFA and APA raise, the more our APA students benefit!

Thank you for your support!

The most popular Musical of all time - Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterwork is a timeless story of seduction and despair. The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command. With a masterful score that has topped the musical theatre charts for years, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s enthralling score includes “Think of Me,” “Angel of Music,” “Music of the Night,“All I Ask of You,” “Masquerade” and the title song - “The Phantom Of The Opera.” Truly an experience never to be forgotten!

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. MEN ON BOATS is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition to chart the Colorado River. Equal parts thrilling adventure and sharp-witted comedy, MEN ON BOATS offers a daring and humorous retelling of history that explores the meaning of pushing forward when faced with peril. The year is 1869. Guided by the spirited explorer John Wesley Powell, an eclectic group of adventurers embarks on a quest to chart the Colorado River and American frontier driven by ambition, hunger, and a touch of madness. They encounter perilous rapids, conflicting personalities, and a fair share of chaos.
