Potomac Arts Academy

The goal at AFYP is to provide actors of all ages (5 years to adults) with professional-level training in a supportive and fun environment. Through this training, we hope to help our actors develop skills that will serve them in all walks of life, on stage and off. Our faculty is made up of working professionals in the industry – actors, directors and teaching artists who are constantly honing their skills through their creative endeavors and bringing those skills back to share with our students.

Mason Community Arts Academy is the community arts education division of George Mason University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Additionally, extensive outreach programs in music and theater have been established to reach under-resourced populations both in our area and abroad.
