Elz Elite School of Performing Arts (E.E.S.P.A) is a youth theater and performing arts summer camp located in the greater New Orleans area at Dillard University. Our mission is to inspire children from ages 7 to 17 to dream, explore, think, and connect through imaginative storytelling on stage and in the classroom. We bring stories to life in a way that encourages children to dream about who they are and may become and to explore stories from different perspectives. Our programs encourage children to question and explore how to live in a complex world so that they grow up creative, healthier, smarter, and kinder. E.E.S.P.A aspires to transform young artists into creative, curious, and compassionate adults.
