About us
Our Story
Inspired by a real-life pretty Penny, PaaPP was created by a group of professional actors (slash dog lovers) with the desire to connect with and contribute to our community through the arts.
Our Mission
At Pretty as a Penny Productions, we're dedicated to empowering young artists through accessible arts education. In addition to the free classes we hold, we aim to keep the timeless theater-going experience alive by producing high-quality, Broadway-style productions- right here in Atlanta!

Truly even prettier than a shiny copper penny, Penny Lou is the perfect face for our organization. Penny loves going on hikes, chasing squirrels, eating crunchy snacks, and cuddling on the couch. If you need her, she can be found by Charlotte’s side.
