Performing Arts Studio West (PASW) is the most unique program of its kind for performers with disabilities. Our mission is to provide an environment in which adults with developmental disabilities can enhance self-esteem, social skills and vocational skills through participation in a performing arts curriculum, professionally developed productions and a vocational training component.
Founded in 1998 by studio director John Paizis, Performing Arts Studio West is setting a standard of excellence throughout the United States and internationally.
PASW is proud of the many classes and opportunities we offer our performers. Preparation for work in the entertainment industry begins with our professional training in acting, music, voice, dance and production.
