Director's Message


We invite you to experience all that the Academy has to offer, excellence in performing arts training, music, puppet theatre, dance, theory, history and more. Make new friends who share your passion for the performing arts. Experience the thrill of performance, solo, ensemble and large-scale music, puppet and dance productions.

Our vision of the Academy is to serve as a creative and cultural hub for Kingstonians. Interdisciplinary exchange and creative excellence are central to the Academy vision.

There is no place in Kingston like the Academy. Our facility houses a Recital Hall with concert grand piano, a gym for dance, a puppet theatre, classrooms, studios and practice facilities.

The Academy provides an exceptional space to be creative and to connect; a space of inspiration for young and old.

Come join us!
