Dear PTAE friends,

We sent out our Fall Schedule for classes about a week ago and now we've had numerous requests for private acting, voice, piano, guitar and/or other instrumental lessons.  So, below is a list of all our private teachers and some possible available times as well as a way to contact them.  Please contact the teacher you are interested in asap as private lessons fill up fast, especially private acting as there is only 1 teacher available at the moment.

Thanks so much,
Jay Prock
