About us
Welcome to Rising Star Performing Arts Academy. RSPAA was founded by Lori Boyd, a dedicated music teacher who saw the need for connection and support among students following the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We build confidence through the arts and community by offering a safe and encouraging space where children and youth grow as performers and leaders. Through camps, workshops, classes, and productions, we help young artists develop their talents while fostering teamwork, self-expression, and a sense of belonging. At Rising Star, we believe in progress over perfection—every voice, every story, and every performer matters.
S.T.A.R. Qualities
S-STRENGTH We create experiences to give our performers a strong sense of self and a strong sense of community.
T-TALENT Every one of our students has many opportunities to grow and learn new talents, whether it is their first time or they’ve been performing for years.
A-ACHIEVEMENT Many of our programs end with either a performance or an open share time, so families and friends can see how much their young star has grown and what they’ve been able to achieve.
R-RESPECT We foster a community of inclusion and respect. This is a safe space for everyone to come together and share a common love of the performing arts without fear of judgement or rejection.
