PPT Conservatory productions offer a unique opportunity for youth ages 8-18 to work with experienced professionals in a rigorous environment.

Students must possess strong acting skills, be committed to a serious and intense rehearsal process, and have the ability to work well in a collaborative ensemble. Acceptance into the Conservatory is by audition only. There is no participation fee for PPT Conservatory.

This year’s production, In The Burning Darkness by Antonio Buero-Vallejo is a powerful and moving drama set in a school for the blind, where optimism and despair collide. When a new student challenges the others to confront the painful realities they’ve tried to ignore, tensions rise, revealing deep questions about truth, perception, and the human spirit. A poignant exploration of hope and disillusionment, this play shines a light on what it truly means to see.
