At Prescott Valley Performing Arts, we believe in the power of storytelling, creativity, and community. For over two decades, we’ve been a home for performers of all ages—a place where passion meets purpose onstage and behind the scenes.

From Mainstage musicals to youth theatre camps and local choir concerts, everything we do is rooted in our mission to inspire, educate, and bring people together through the performing arts.

We’re proud to be a community theatre built by the community, for the community—welcoming newcomers and nurturing lifelong connections through every show we produce.

This is more than a stage—it’s a family.

  • Youth Music Program Director/Camp Directors

    We are Miss Jenn and Mr. Guitar (David Castagner), a dynamic duo passionate about the performing arts and music education. Since childhood, we've both been immersed in music and performance, shaping our lives and careers.

    Miss Jenn's journey began as a singer-songwriter and performer, traveling across the country and even to Australia, embracing a wide range of musical influences. With a self-taught mastery of guitar and a vocal range that spans classical, contemporary, folk, and musical theater, her love for theater started at just four years old. Her classical background in opera, coupled with her education at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles and New York City, paved the way for her to perform in numerous productions and release her debut CD, Still. Now, she's fulfilling her dream of giving back through teaching, inspiring students worldwide to grow and thrive in the performing arts.

    David, affectionately known by the kids as "Mr. Guitar," began his musical journey at three years old by making music with pots and pans before moving on to piano, bass guitar, and just about any instrument he could get his hands on. A classically trained composer from McGill University in Montreal, David took his talents to Hollywood, playing in rock bands and sharing his love of music with others. With over 18 years of teaching experience, he brings a patient, fun approach to music education, ensuring that learning is always enjoyable.
