Creative Pursuits Studio and Academy
Founded in 2016, Creative Pursuits Studio has been an artistic space where local professionals have been able to teach and inspire young artists of tomorrow! Creative Pursuits Academy is now taking over the reins continuing exceptionally high-quality one-on-one instruction, group classes, and performance opportunities in the arts!
Creative Pursuits Academy proudly serves the artistic needs of Lancaster and surrounding counties for creators at all stages of their artistic journey. We were founded on the importance of providing students of all ages, races, ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds with an opportunity to explore the performing arts. Local professional creatives are committed to providing our students an opportunity to find their inner artist in a safe, challenging, and educational environment. Here at Creative Pursuits Academy we believe that creativity exists in everyone. It is our goal, and commitment, to equip our students with skills they will carry with them not only through their journey in the arts, but also as thoughtful contributors to their community for the rest of their lives creativepursuitsacademy.org
Jesse Rothacker and Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary
Each year Jesse and his rescued reptiles slither into more than 150 live events. Our program is very popular with schools, churches, scouts, libraries, community events, and regularly appears on television and radio. Jesse and the reptiles have performed at the governor’s mansion, for the U.S. Congress, with Jay Leno, and at many other venues, from crowded theaters and stadiums to more intimate gatherings within backyards and living rooms. From snakes to turtles there’s so many reptiles that Jesse has and is excited to share! www.YouTube.com/ForgottenFriendReptileTV
