Students Shine on Stage at the Mancini Academy
The Henry Mancini Academy at
Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center makes high-quality training in the creative and performing arts available and affordable for students at every level of interest , experience and ability in a world-class professional setting that is safe and supportive .
The Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center is an arts and education facility in Midland , Pa featuring exceptional studio , classroom and performance space .
Meg Pryor was brought on board as the director of the Henry Mancini Academy last September . A graduate of NYU ’ s Tisch School of the Arts , she returned to the Pittsburgh area ( where she grew up ) after 20-plus years living and working in New York . She has an extensive background as performer , teacher and choreographer . With both ongoing and periodic classes , workshops and seminars in dance , music , and theater , Mancini Academy provides an inspiring and nurturing environment for students ages 3 to adult to discover their own unique potential through creative artistic expression . The academy ’ s experienced , professional faculty provides the finest dance , voice and acting training in a positive , challenging and nurturing environment . It is dedicated to the development of not only strong musical theater performers , but more importantly , strong , responsible , happy people .
In combination with providing the highest quality of training for students , it is the Mancini Academy ’ s belief that opportunities for stage performance are an integral part of the development of musical theater performers . That is why it offers a Performance Project each semester , as well as in the summer camps . The spring 2017 production of Disney ’ s The Jungle Book Kids marked the beginning of that effort , which was an overwhelming success . The staff looks forward to watching the student performers take the stage by storm again this fall — in a musical review of selections from hit Broadway shows — as well as continuing to offer opportunities for them to perform at various events and functions throughout the community . This is a particularly important element of the academy ’ s programming , as it not only
affords the students additional performance avenues but also fosters a sense of community and commitment to others , which speaks to the core mission of the Henry Mancini Academy and Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center .
Whether your child longs to meet friends who share in their love of singing , dancing and acting , or hopes to work with like-minded professionals who can guide them in their pursuit of a career in musical theater , the Henry Mancini Academy is a welcome home for them . The fall semester begins September 11 , and registration is open now ! Visit manciniacademy . com or call 724.576.4644 x1311 for more information .
