ABOUT THE ACADEMY</span></b></p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";font-size:9pt">The Academy for
the Performing Arts is an accredited, half day program. Admission is by
audition from a group of nine northeast Ohio school systems that include <i>Aurora,
Beachwood, Chagrin Falls, Mayfield, Orange, Richmond Heights, Solon, South
Euclid-Lyndhurst and West Geauga. </i></span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";font-size:9pt">The Academy is housed within the Chagrin
Falls Performing Arts Center and uses its auditorium once annually for an
opening musical with unique investment of resources. The season also uses the
renovated Studio Theatre and several classroom spaces, collaborating with high
school faculty, students, administrators, and area professionals on a regular
basis. The mission of the Academy is to provide talented high school juniors
and seniors with a joyful, challenging and inspiring training experience in the
performing arts; one that builds confidence, courage and mastery in creative
self-expression and prepares students for advanced college and professional opportunities.
</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";font-size:9pt">2012-2013 marks the fifth year of the program. </span></p><p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
