Stagelights Performing Arts Center founder and owner Lisa Ferlita has been passionate about the performing arts since, as she says, birth. Igniting a passion for the performing arts is Stagelights’ mission and sharing what she loves with her students is core to Lisa’s teaching and Stagelights' program development. ​As a small business owner, she has worked tirelessly to create a program where her students can grow and thrive. She has worked to build a team who shares her passion. This is why Stagelights hires teachers who are seasoned performers, with degrees in performing arts or are currently pursuing performing arts at the college level. Stagelights PAC Staff knows learning is a lifelong process in performing arts education. They continue to advance their own skills through continuing education programs and workshops, enabling them to combine classic techniques with modern approaches, to give young artists well-rounded performing arts education.
