The Program at PCPA is pretty awesome. It is a little weird because Santa Maria, CA is about the last place you expect a theater company to be. From what I've heard, they have changed their two year tech program a little. But the summer which I spent there I found the work to be very engaging. From my experience PCPA is a big family of people, and all of their staff love to teach, and love to inspire new minds. It's a great program and you learn a lot.
