About Us

In the Light Performing Arts Center (ITL) offers a comprehensive range of fine arts education in visual arts, music, theater, and dance, serving students from ages 2 to 75. Whether beginners or experienced artists, our students thrive in a welcoming, encouraging environment that fosters both personal growth and creative exploration. For those with a passion for the arts but limited financial resources, ITL proudly offers scholarship opportunities to help ensure access for all. Our parent-friendly lobby provides a calm, comfortable space with free WiFi, making it easy for families to stay connected while their children learn and create.

Located in a beautiful historic building in the heart of Peculiar, Missouri, ITL is more than just a performance and education center—it's a space where community and creativity come together. As a flex theater and hub for artistic expression, we are home to the professional dance company Unleashed and the All Out theater company, both of which are committed to producing high-quality,  imaginative performances that uplift and inspire. Our programs are led by a passionate team of artists, educators, and community leaders who are dedicated to nurturing talent and enriching lives through the arts.
​
At ITL, our mission is rooted in making arts education accessible, meaningful, and transformative for families of all backgrounds. We believe in the power of the arts to connect people, spark imagination, and strengthen communities. As a collaborative of local artists and educators, we are constantly working together to create works that resonate with all ages and backgrounds—pieces that bring joy, reflection, and inspiration to those who experience them.
