Apart from offering free programmes to promote performing arts to secondary school students, HKAPA is dedicated to advocating for education and appreciation of performing arts in the community, and to encouraging the public to take arts as a lifelong pursuit. In recent years, more intimate, non-commercial, non-profit-oriented, and reform-minded entertainments were produced by small-scale local theatre companies. The Academy has arranged a radio interview series to introduce the mission of these talented producers and playwrights who are passionate about making a difference for the Hong Kong art scene.
