NEW! Professional Headshot Day
Friday, July 20
Here it is… Your 15 minutes of fame! Schedule your appointment to shoot with Chicago’s best Professional Headshot photographer on the market – Brian McConkey www.brianmcconkeyphotography.com!
Make-up and Hair touch-up with professional make-up artist, Photo Session and 1 8x10 included.
“Atmosphere and aesthetics are high on this photographer’s list of priorities. But he also has the ability to bring out the essence of an actor’s personality within the constrictions of what casting directors require in standard theatrical and commercial headshots. McConkey consults with casting directors to get a sense of what they look for from basic smiley pics to the more moody, fun and creative shot.” - Lucia Mauro

Do You Have a Child with Special Needs?
The School of Performing Arts would like to implement Special Needs workshops in Music, Dance, Musical Theatre and Visual Arts!
Expressing yourself through the Arts promotes socialization, sensory integration, easier transitions, communication, a sense of community and builds self-confidence! When using the arts for nothing but fun, we are not concerned with the beauty of the visual art, the trill of our voice, the clarity of a dance move, or the harmonic flow of a song. We use the arts to let go, to express and to release. The use of music, dance and imagery through art allows your child an alternate path for self-exploration and communication. Join us on this journey!
Please call for more information.
