APCA founded the Island Club Cabaret for purposes of presenting musicals, revues and premier entertainment, as well as to feature new artists.

APCA also established a theater and poetry workshop in order to encourage young people to be moral and well-rounded individuals who understand their social responsibility to others. A focus is on providing a wide range of meaningful activities that will challenge the children, enlighten their lives as well as others they interact with. APCA also believes that a child can be more resourceful in school if the child has had a significant variety of activities and a foundation of ethics. Their work will provide an awe-inspiring view of the broad cultures worldwide.

APCA's mission is to educate, motivate and elevate the children. APCA's sincere commitment to the future of the young people is reflected in its work with the award-winning Coastal Youth Theatre of Voices, a theater and poetry ensemble.
