Welcome to Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter! We are pleased to present It's A Wonderful Life. Our Senior Acting Company, under the direction of Jesse Furman, brings this beloved holiday season drama vividly to life in a stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s classic film of sacrifice and redemption in small-town America.

The show begins on Christmas Eve, 1946. George Bailey, the nicest guy in town, is in a terrible predicament. We find him perched precariously on a bridge, on the verge of jumping. Enter Clara, George’s guardian angel, who has not yet earned her wings. Clara shows George what Bedford Falls would be like if George had never been born!

Putting on a show is complex: choosing the show, casting actors, assembling a team of designers and technicians, installing lights and much more. We love giving these students the full experience, and a taste of what it is like to be in a professional production.

Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter is designed to provide a professional, disciplined, and supportive atmosphere where students of all levels can succeed in obtaining a Performing Arts education. Regardless of age or whether or not the goal is to become a professional performing artist, we believe that an Arts Education is essential in creating positive results that will last a lifetime. Our goal is to teach dance, music, and theatere as well as an appreciation of each.

Our staff has many years of instructional and personal experiences perfecting their craft. Their individual love of the arts spills over to the students they teach. This is why Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter will maintain our commitment to the highest standards of excellence in Arts Education.

We invite you to return for our upcoming productions in 2020.  Into the Woods will run March 7-15 and The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza will open in April, with Auditions held on January 9.

I will see you at the theater! Kudos to the cast and crew of It’s A Wonderful Life for this wonderful production. What a fun way to celebrate the holiday season! Happy Holidays from all of us at Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter.
