WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO
MEET THE FOUNDERS
AMANDA & JASON KOITER
Amanda and Jason Koiter, founders of The Prescott Conservatory of Performing Arts, bring over 35 years of combined experience in the film, television, and entertainment industry. As a husband-and-wife team, they are dedicated to making high-quality performing arts education accessible to the youth of Yavapai County. Living in Prescott Valley with their three beautiful children—who also have a passion for performing—Amanda and Jason are driven by a shared dream: to create a space where young people can experience the transformative power of the arts. They believe deeply in the many benefits that performing arts offer to children, from building confidence to fostering creativity and teamwork. The joy of seeing young performers grow and succeed is at the heart of everything they do, and they are excited to share that joy with the community through affordable and elevated arts experiences.
OUR MISSION & VISION
At The Prescott Conservatory of Performing Arts (PCPA), our mission is to inspire and empower young artists, in Grades 6-12, through exceptional performing arts training and transformative experiences. We provide a professional theatrical discipline within a supportive, nurturing environment that fosters growth, creativity, and personal development. At PCPA, we are dedicated to guiding students in building self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-awareness, helping them discover and express their unique voices. Through our comprehensive programs in dance, theater, and music, we nurture both artistic excellence and the character-building qualities that will serve our students for a lifetime. We believe that the performing arts are not just about performance—they are a powerful tool for personal expression and growth, and we strive to provide a place where every student can flourish, both on stage and in life.
