Mission Statement
The Jacobson Center for the Performing Arts, Ltd. is a non-profit organization dedicated to education on and off stage through musical theater by working with beginners to industry professionals to perfect their crafts in acting, singing, and dancing on the stage, not in a classroom. We believe that learning occurs through action, not through lecture. Theater is a cooperative art form instilling self confidence, professionalism, workmanship, teamwork, showmanship, a renewed sense of self and the discovery of hidden strengths, talents and motivations.
