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. 
 
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.
 
The studio provides a hands-on approach to individualized training, career management and on-set support for our clients who are working professionally. To date, PASW clients have been cast in over 800 roles in film, television, commercials, theater, music videos, corporate training films, new media projects and print ads.

 

Performing Arts Studio West is now in its 11th year of giving adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to realize their dreams. PASW has changed the lives of hundreds of adults with disabilities and raised awareness of their talents to millions worldwide. PASW is a one of a kind organization with a unique program made possible by state funding, however, that just covers the basics.  Additional support for special projects, equipment and our capital campaign is needed to continue serving the people who seek our assistance.  Won't you please help us reach our goal?  Please go to www.pastudiowest.com and in the bottom middle of the HOME page click on  SUPPORT PASW, to help us expand our services to those who need us.
