Registration also just opened for the new spring 2020 session at Paramount School of the Arts, where children ages 6 months to 19 years, as well as adults, can match their interests or expand their horizons with more than 50 classes in theater, music, dance and visual arts.

Private lessons in theater, dance, musical instruments, vocal performance and audition coaching are also available.

Due to demand for more advanced courses for its middle-school students, PSA will launch its new Youth Theater Conservatory in January. These courses are for passionate 6-8 grade students who have a serious interest in singing, dancing and acting. Auditions are required for children new to the school, Audition dates are Wednesday, November 13, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, November 16, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Call (630) 896-6810 to schedule an audition time.

Training is led by Paramount fan-favorite Paul-Jordan Jansen, currently in rehearsals as the Beast in Paramount’s holiday spectacular Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, playing November 13, 2019-January 19, 2020. Jansen also portrayed the Cowardly Lion in Paramount’s The Wizard of Oz and earned a Jeff Award for Best Actor as Paramount’s Sweeney Todd.

Even adults can take a class at the new Paramount School of the Arts. Sign up for classes like adult tap, adult improv and acrylic painting at ParamountSchool.com or call (630) 896-6810.
