The Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory (FPAC) is a high-caliber theatre school for children and adults. Founded by Artistic Director Fred Sternfeld in 2004, FPAC's focus is on providing high-caliber conservatory style training that instills a love for the stage, and the presentation of theatrical productions by children, teens and adults.

We offer programs that provide focused training for the novice as well as the serious theatre student. Classes are held in multiple locations and FPAC productions are held in the intimate setting of the Mayfield Village Civic Center's Reserve Hall theater.

FPAC students who attend our summer programs receive quality performing arts training from a staff of theatre professionals, multiple performance opportunities, and a chance to experience the theatre scene in New York City.

In addition to our youth classes and productions, FPAC launched its professional theater in 2009 with the presentation of The Odd Couple and in 2010 presented the Ohio premiere of Eat (It's Not About Food).

Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory programs foster teamwork, discipline, commitment and support – lessons that resonate in all areas of our students' lives. Please click on the links below to see all that the Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory has to offer.
