Mission Statement: The Studio of Performing Arts provides disciplined instruction and performance opportunities to our community with unique inspiration, a strong work ethic, and most of all passion!
The Studio of Performing Arts opened in 1993 under the direction of Zellda Markham. Shannon Lowrie, owner and director of the studio since 2000 has recruited a multi-talented staff of professionals to teach, guide and motivate our students to follow their dreams. Now located at 805 Grand Ave. in Grover Beach.
In a world of technology and the forgotten art of communication, performing arts creates a unique connection to people and to ourselves. Not only do we teach discipline and technique but also teamwork, work ethic, how to overcome failure, how to graciously accept success, and most importantly passion!
The Studio of Performing Arts also known as Sopa has launched many careers in dance, theater, music, and film. The difference in our studio is that we create programs for you and what your dreams are. The family Sopa has created is unmeasurable and continues to grow on a daily basis. Come be a part of this very special place! Also join us on facebook!

DRAMA
It is our goal to incorporate professional theater skills with a fun and safe experience for everyone involved. Our curriculum is hands on and learning by doing so attendance and participation is very important. The season starts with scene and character study. We spend several weeks exploring our production by using different acting methods, learning basic music sight reading, accompanied by theatrical choreography, and auditioning. Each student will audition for a part in the show. Each student receives a part in the show as long as they have been enrolled in the class since the beginning of the season. This is the new policy that we feel it is vital to the process. Any student joining the class after this time period will be involved with the chorus parts of the show, which have not yet been blocked. When students are involved with our drama department they not only have the opportunity to be an actor in the shows but are also able to learn about all the aspects of what takes place behind the scenes as well. They can assist and learn about the technical side of drama such as learning how to work a sound and lighting board. The students assist with sets and props and can earn the opportunity to be a student director or assistant stage manager. There are many career paths a student can take in the field of the arts.
